Merit Appeals Board April 23, 2026 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah. So—but with about 3,000 employees to have 260 claims, the Work <br />Comp. being less than 10% is good. We’re very—we’re pleased that it’s not higher. Of course, <br />we would like it to be “0” but it will never be “0”— <br /> <br />MS. BOND: No, no. What is I-M-P-A-X-X? <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: So, IMPAXX is a company that helps us with compliance with our Medicare <br />requirements. So, for certain—it mostly pertains to settlement of claims when the employees of <br />retirement age—there’re some new—some different rules that go into effect for Medicare <br />(inaudible), to ensure that Medicare isn’t covering the cost of any treatment related to the Work <br />Comp. claim. So, that company helps us to ensure compliance with the Medicare rules. <br /> <br />MS. BOND: Okay. I didn’t know if it was a company or just a crazy acronym, ‘cause I’m trying <br />to figure out what the acronym was. <br /> <br />MS. TOKIHIRO: Yeah. It’s a company name. Yeah. <br /> <br />MS. BOND: An individual, maybe people—and XX—okay, that’s all the questions I had. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Anyone else? If not, I’ll entertain a motion to accept and file. <br /> <br />MS. BOND : I move that we accept and file the April report from the Department of—from <br />Sommer. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Second. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: It’s the MAB Monthly Divisional Activity Report for April 2026. Okay, is there <br />a second? <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Second. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Any discussion? If not, Ms. Bond. <br /> <br />MS. BOND: Aye. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Aguinaldo. <br /> <br />MR. AGUINALDO: Aye. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Thomas. <br /> <br />MR. THOMAS: Aye. <br /> <br />CHR. CABANAS: Ms. Cabanas—aye. <br /> <br />Four ayes. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Communications (Item 6) <br /> <br />CHR.
