What’s in it

This bill provides that a person is entitled to replacement of a prosthetic device, including subsequent replacements, by an employer under the workers’ compensation program if the prosthetic device is needed as a result of a compensable injury, and the replacement of the prosthetic device would otherwise be considered reasonable medical care. Under current law, an employer is not required to furnish more than one set of permanent prosthetic devices.
