3. How are vocational rehabilitation services requested? A rehabilitation consultation to determine eligibility for rehabilitation services is the first step. The employer/insurer can request this consultation by referring the case directly to a QRC. The employee may also request a consultation; this should be done in writing to the employer/insurer -- employees may use a Rehabilitation Request form. If liability for the claim is disputed, the employee may receive a consultation through the department's Vocational Rehabilitation unit. |
