The employer may not protest or petition the Commission for relief concerning an action or determination taken by the employer's insurance carrier or workers' compensation pool unless the employer notifies the carrier or workers' compensation pool, and the Commission in writing that the employer disagrees with the carrier's or worker's compensation pool's action or determination within the time described in A.R.S. § 23-947.
