The Medical Fees Bill
Louisiana moves to set medical fees for workers' comp
Provides for the adoption of a medical fee reimbursement schedule for workers' compensation (RE +$100,000 SD EX See Note)
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the state would set a schedule for how much doctors get paid for treating workers on workers' comp claims.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens should watch because the fee schedule could limit what doctors charge, which may lower costs for employers but could affect the care workers receive.
