WORKERS COMPENSATION: Provides for adoption of a medical fee reimbursement schedule for workers' compensation (EG +$100,000 SD EX See Note)

HB 117 proposes to establish a medical fee reimbursement schedule for workers' compensation cases. This schedule will directly impact medical providers by setting standardized rates for services provided to injured workers, and employers who pay into the workers' compensation system. The bill seeks to regulate the costs of medical treatments covered by workers' compensation. An amendment removed a provision that would have limited the schedule's basis to those of surrounding states.
