Notice Of Intention To Close Claim {D-31a}

D-31a - NOTICE OF INTENTION TO CLOSE CLAIM (Pursuant to NRS 616C.235(1)). This form is a formal notification issued by a workers' compensation insurer in Nevada, informing an injured worker that their claim is scheduled to be closed within 70 days from the date of the notice. The closure is being processed even though all potential benefits may not have been fully paid. This notice is typically issued when the insurer determines that the worker is not currently receiving medical treatment and does not appear to need further benefits. However, the worker is given an opportunity to inform the insurer if they have upcoming medical appointments that might impact the decision to close the claim. The notice also explains the worker’s right to appeal the closure under NRS 616C.305 and NRS 616C.315-616C.385. If the worker disagrees, they must file an appeal with the Nevada Department of Administration, Hearings Division within 70 days. Additionally, the notice outlines the worker’s right to request claim reopening under NRS 616C.390 if their condition worsens and requires further medical treatment. The reopening request must be supported by a doctor’s report linking the condition to the original work injury. The purpose of this notice is to notify the worker in advance of claim closure, provide appeal options, and explain the process for reopening the claim if necessary. www.FormsWorkflow.com
