documentary proof that the administrator requests. The |
administrator may change the maximum value in this subsection |
by administrative rule. |
(c) If the claim is denied or there is insufficient |

reason for the denial and may specify what additional |
evidence, if any, is required for the claim to be allowed; |
(2) the claimant may file an amended claim with the |
administrator or commence an action under Section 15-906; |
and |
(3) the administrator shall consider an amended claim |
filed under paragraph (2) as an initial claim.
