SB 25-186

Senate Bill 25-186 extends a program that accredits healthcare providers for workers' compensation services in Colorado until September 1, 2036. It allows any licensed healthcare professional who treats patients through the workers' compensation system to get accreditation from the state's division of workers' compensation. The bill has been signed into law, meaning it is now official and will be implemented as planned. This affects healthcare providers and employers covered by Colorado’s workers’ compensation program.
