HB 1326 Workers' compensation; medical services.
Introduced by: Donald W. Merricks | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Workers' compensation; medical services. Provides that a health care provider rendering medical services outside Virginia to an injured worker whose claim and injuries have been accepted as compensable under the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act shall be reimbursed for authorized, reasonable and necessary medical treatment in an amount equal to the workers' compensation fee schedule, if any, adopted by that state. If the other state does not have a fee schedule, the provider will be reimbursed based on the charges prevailing in the same community for similar treatment when the treatment is paid for by the injured person. The measure also directs the Workers' Compensation Commission to appoint a task force to develop recommendations relating to reductions or discounts for multiple surgical procedures performed during a single operative session, liability for the costs of assistants-at-surgery, and whether prompt payment to medical providers should be required. The Commission shall develop regulations addressing these issues by November 30, 2011.
