The California Department of Industrial Relations Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) has added an easy-to-use search tool to help the public find Independent Bill Review (IBR) determinations quickly and efficiently. The DWC IBR search tool is available on the DWC website.

Over 5,100 IBR cases have been decided since the IBR program was implemented on January 1, 2013. Information for each case is posted to the DWC website after the case is decided. Similar in structure to the Independent Medical Review (IMR) search tool, the public can search for the decisions on dates of application receipt and decision issuance, case decision and applicable fee schedule.

Maximus Federal Services is the current Independent Bill Review Organization (IBRO) contracted with DWC. The IBR program provides an expedient method to resolve work related injury billing disputes between providers and claims administrators. IBR is available for any disputed medical service bill where the date of service is on or after January 1, 2013 and the fee is determined by the DWC fee schedule.
