Nebraska court-certified VR billing —
Rule 40, VR-44S, and two different payers.
NWCC Rule 40 certified you, and then the Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Court split your bill in two: evaluation and plan development go to the employer or carrier, plan implementation goes to the state Trust Fund. Same claimant, same VR-44S, two payers and two receivables.
The facts, before the pitch.
How billing works in Nebraska
- Who you bill
- The employer or carrier for evaluation and plan development; the state Trust Fund for plan implementation.
- What you send
- Court VR forms — VR-44S for billing.
- The channel
- Direct.
- Fee basis
- Market rates.
- The clock
- Not a deadline we have verified for Nebraska. Ask the Nebraska Workers' Compensation Court (NWCC), and read the payer’s own contract, before you rely on a date.
The system. Court-certified counselors; evaluation and plan development billed to the employer/carrier, implementation to the state Trust Fund.
Where the rules are written. NWCC Rule 40.
The paperwork with its own name. VR-44S.
Loss-of-earning-power (LOEP) evaluations carry a rebuttable presumption.

Your week, in Nebraska’s documents.
One file, two funding sources, and a court form that has to say which is which.
- 8:30 a.m.Loss-of-earning-power evaluation interview.Billed to the employer or carrier, tagged as evaluation from the first entry rather than sorted out later.
- 11:15 a.m.Labor-market research and plan drafting.Still plan development. Still the carrier’s half of the file.
- 2:20 p.m.Plan approved. Implementation starts, and so does the Trust Fund.The payer changes on the file and the software stops mixing the two halves in one bill.
- 4:50 p.m.VR-44S out for both, and both tracked separately.Two receivables, two aging clocks, one client. Nobody has to hold that in their head.
Every one of those rows is typed once, as it happens. The daily log writes itself as you go, the weekly narrative log builds in your own Word template, a CMS-1500 fills with the right units and the right payer block where a payer wants one — and where your state bills on its own form or an invoice, the dated, timed, priced lines that go on it come off the grid, and the receivable is tracked from the moment the bill leaves. The whole chain →
A loss-of-earning-power evaluation comes with a rebuttable presumption.
In Nebraska, an LOEP opinion from a court-certified counselor starts out presumed correct. That is a considerable thing to hand a professional, and it means the file behind the number gets read by people looking for a reason to rebut it.
So the file has to be as tidy as the conclusion: every contact dated, every source recorded, every hour accounted for, the narrative written once and never retyped into a second document where the two versions can drift apart.
That is what one entry per activity actually buys you here — not saved minutes, but a record that says the same thing everywhere it appears.
Who pays you in Nebraska.
Two payers on one caseload: the employer or carrier for evaluation and plan development, and the Nebraska Workers’ Compensation Trust Fund for plan implementation. They do not pay at the same speed, and they should never appear on the same bill.

One check, many claimants. Whichever of these names is on the envelope, the check covers a dozen files at once. You record it once, tick the bills it pays, and anything short is flagged with the exact gap and the original form attached, ready to rebill. How that screen works.
Billing addresses and submission preferences go stale faster than any page can keep up, so we publish them only where we keep them current — today that is Ohio’s nine MCOs. Your Nebraska payers and their submission preferences get set up during onboarding, from your own files.

Questions, answered.
Can it keep evaluation and implementation billing apart?
That is the first thing it does here. The funding source is a property of the work, not of the invoice, so evaluation and plan-development time goes to the employer or carrier and implementation goes to the Trust Fund — two receivables, two aging clocks, no mixed bills.
Does it produce the VR-44S?
It produces the billing content the court form needs, from the entries you already made, in your own template. Court forms and their revisions are configured during onboarding, from your copies.
What about loss-of-earning-power evaluations?
They are ordinary billable work in the grid, and the file behind them — contacts, sources, dates, hours — is exactly the record an LOEP opinion has to stand on when someone tries to rebut the presumption.
Nebraska is a small market. Is this worth it for a solo?
Forms is $49 a month and includes clients, the daily billing log, the claim forms and the state configuration. The weekly Word tracking logs, error checking, AR and short-pay block start at Professional, $299. The arithmetic against a billing service is on the pricing page.
