    Case Number: 27, 2023D

    Trial court erred in concluding that medical provider had standing to challenge lawfulness of insurer's old billing codes under the workers' compensation law, where the insurer had switched to a new billing code system prior to, and independent of, the provider's lawsuit and any prospective declaratory relief would not redress the claimed injury.
