2018 VSIA GENERAL MEETING
THE VIRGINIA SELF-INSURERS ASSOCIATION, INC. (VSIA)6/27/2018 through 6/28/2018
The Williamsburg Lodge -- Williamsburg, VA
I hope you will be able to attend The Virginia Self-Insurers Association's June 27-28, 2018 General Meeting at The Williamsburg Lodge in Williamsburg, Virginia. This year's General Meeting features a captain's choice golf tournament for all ability levels on the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club's Gold Course (a classic Robert Trent Jones layout which recently underwent a one-year major renovation by his son, Rees Jones), a cocktail party (casual business attire), and an information-packed workers' compensation educational program (breakfast and lunch are included) featuring national and state experts and Virginia's three workers' compensation commissioners discussing in detail the following topics of importance to everyone involved with Virginia's workers' compensation system:
- Analyzing Virginia's "reduced-opioid" treatment world: The
initial and projected future impacts of the opioid treatment rules; dealing
with claimants that are opioid dependent; the replacement treatment strategies
being utilized and their costs/effectiveness; and without treatment guidelines
in place, how Virginia employers can ensure that their injured workers are
receiving effective treatment.
- Virginia's workers' compensation presumptions applicable to
both public and private employers: What they are, when they were enacted, and
how they are utilized today; their current impacts; and why recent legislative
proposals to expand them are so dangerous.
- A detailed discussion of two bedrock principles of Virginia
workers' compensation law and why all employers should fully understand and
consider them in their day-to-day operations: Jurisdiction and The Statutory
Employer.
- Issues being addressed at the Commission, including
electronic payment and billing requirements, issues that led to the
introduction of HB 1543 (2018), disputes to date relating to the Virginia
medical fee schedules, and matters being discussed by the Regulatory Advisory
Panel.
- Legislative Update.
