Holdings & conclusions
“We emphasize, however, that our decision not to impose sanctions in this particular case does not in any way abrogate, diminish, limit or abridge our essential holding that a third party administrator must promptly disclose the identity of its client and, if the client is an insurance carrier, the administrator must disclose whether the policy includes a "high self-insured retention," a large deductible, or any other provision that affects the identity of the entity actually liable for compensation. These holdings remain in full force and effect, and the third party administrators (or their counsel and/or representative) who do not comply with these holdings may be subject to sanctions.”
