HB 1763 -- Workers' Compensation

Sponsor:  Yates

Currently, health care providers, administering treatment for a
workers' compensation claim, may not charge fees greater than the
usual and customary fee the provider receives when the payor for
the treatment or service is a private individual or a private
insurer.  This bill defines usual and customary fees to be based
on comparable volume-based discount contracts of the health
provider delivering the treatment of care.  If a charged fee is
disputed, a medical fee dispute application must be filed with
the Division of Workers' Compensation or the Labor and Industrial
Relations Commission within two years from the last date of
medical service for which payment is sought.
