On January 14, 2014 at the Oakland State Building the California Division of
Workers Compensation held a hearing on the affect of SB 863 and Utilization
Review UR and Independent Medical Review IMR.
Injured nurse Sarah J. Hames testified that the new law SB 863 has seriously
harmed her health and forced her to take addictive opiate drugs rather than
the non-opiate treatment that she had been on which allowed her to work as
a nurse.
She and other workers testified that they are being tortured under the new
legislation and prevented from working and getting proper healthcare.
The state has also outsourced and privatized the process of workers comp claims
and disputes to the Maximus corporation which is unaccountable to the public
and uses anonymous doctors in the IMR process.
