C 4Amr Form – Fill Out and Use This PDF

Use this form to report ancillary medical services such as x-ray, anesthesia, pathology or diagnostic services by other than the attending provider. A medical provider who is only giving clearance for surgery may also use this form. THIS FORM SHOULD NOT BE USED TO REPORT TREATMENT PROVIDED.

Please answer all questions completely, attaching the report for the services provided, and submit promptly to the Board, the insurance carrier and to the patient's attorney or licensed representative, if he/she has one; if not, send a copy to the patient. Failure to do so may delay the payment of necessary services, prevent the timely payment of wage loss benefits to the injured worker, create the necessity for testimony, and jeopardize your Board authorization.
