Workers compensation and auto exposure combine with some of the tightest medical-necessity scrutiny in outpatient medicine. In District of Columbia that plays out against a specific set of rules rather than a general one.
Claims for District of Columbia providers are adjudicated by Novitas Solutions (JL), which is also who hears the first level of appeal — so an appeal argument that works here works in every state that contractor covers.
