Failure of the employer to file a first report of notice of injury is an admission by the employer that the alleged injury may be compensable. The organization may make or reopen a determination made without an employer’s first report of notice of injury on its own motion pursuant to section 65-05-04 on the grounds determined by the organization to be sufficient.
