§ 616C.155. Payment of compensation by insurer prohibited before required; recovery of overpayment by insurer
1. An insurer shall not provide compensation to or for an employee or the dependents
of the employee before the compensation is required to be paid pursuant to the provisions
of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS. 2. If, within 30 days after a payment is made to an injured employee pursuant to the
provisions of chapters 616A to 616D, inclusive, of NRS, the insurer determines that
it has overpaid the injured employee as a result of a clerical error in its calculation
of the amount of payment, or as a result of using improper or incorrect information
to determine the injured employee's eligibility for payment or to calculate the amount
of payment, the insurer may deduct the amount of the overpayment from future benefits
related to that claim to which the injured employee is entitled, other than accident
benefits, if: (a) The insurer notifies the injured employee in writing of its determination; (b) The insurer informs the injured employee of the injured employee’s right to contest
the deduction; and (c) The injured employee fails to contest the deduction or does so and upon final
resolution of the contested deduction, it is determined that such an overpayment was
made. 3. Any deductions made pursuant to subsection 2 must be made in a reasonable manner
which does not cause undue hardship to the injured employee.
