The bill amends the Workers' Compensation Act of Colorado by: • Creating a process for a claimant to receive advance
payment for mileage expenses for travel that is reasonably necessary and related to obtaining compensable treatment, supplies, or services; • Specifying how to determine the benefit amount for medical impairment when the amount payable using the schedule of injuries would exceed the amount payable for nonscheduled injuries; • Increasing the benefit payable for funeral and burial expenses; and • Requiring reporting of active medical treatments necessary to cure and relieve an injury lasting for a period of more than 180 calendar days after the date of the injury.
