Chicago, IL (WorkersCompensation.com) - The Commission unanimously voted to increase fee schedule amounts for some Evaluation and Management procedures (e.g., office visits), effective for treatment on or after July 16, 2014.
When the 30% cut in fee schedule amounts was implemented on September 1, 2011, it brought some procedures below appropriate levels. Section 8.2(b) of the Act authorizes the Commission to increase fee schedule amounts when it finds there is a significant limitation on injured workers' access to medical care. Earlier, the Workers' Compensation Medical Fee Advisory Board had voted unanimously to increase the rates.
The new amounts have been posted. See
