All bills should be submitted to KEMI within 45 days from the date of service. If a bill is not submitted timely, providers may include a note on their billing form “Proof of Timely Filing Attached” along with documentation outlining proof of timely filing based on their records (i.e., screenshots of internal system notes showing when billing info was received, a memo outlining the reason for late billing, etc.)

KRS 342.020 requires any provider who renders services for Kentucky workers’ compensation patients to submit a complete bill with medical records to the payer within 45 days from the date of service. However, KEMI understands that sometimes providers may not receive accurate billing information from the patient or employer when treatment is initiated, and we work with our providers to consider those situations.
