Answer Concerning Application for Alternate Care

Number

100C (14-0011A)

Effective

July 22, 2019

Overview

It is not necessary to file an answer due to time constraints. If no answer is filed, the defendant(s) will be required to provide a response at a hearing. Failure to participate may impact your rights and responsibilities under Iowa Code section 85.27.

An attorney representing the defendant(s) or non-attorney representative of the employer may file this completed form in response to a claimant's petition concerning application for alternate care. 

This procedure is not available if the employer disputes liability on the claim generally. If liability is disputed, this case will be dismissed without prejudice. 

The information provided in this case will be open for public inspection under Iowa Code section 22.1.
