Montana Physician's Referral to Domiciliary Care

When an injured Montana worker needs care at home beyond normal household duties, the authorized treating physician documents it on this one-page referral. It records the occupational injury or disease requiring domiciliary care, the primary caregiver, the services and daily hours needed, the prognosis for leaving domiciliary care, its expected duration, the physician directing nursing services, and how often the physician will review whether services remain appropriate.

Who completes it

The authorized treating physician completes and signs the whole referral, attaching extra pages when needed, and gives the date of the nursing care analysis.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Send it to the workers' compensation adjuster or insurer named on the form.
Who pays
Montana DLI publishes domiciliary care rates with its workers' compensation fee schedules, and payers use the schedule in effect on the date of service.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Who signs Montana's domiciliary care referral?

The authorized treating physician signs it and prints their name. The form separately asks for the name of the physician directing nursing care services, and for the frequency of physician review of whether the services remain appropriate.

What does Montana's referral ask about how long care will last?

Three items cover it: the prognosis for returning to non-domiciliary care status, the expected duration of domiciliary care, and how often the physician will review service appropriateness. Attach additional pages if the answers need more space than the form provides.
