Bill > HB2792

This bill makes the existing medical fee schedules inoperative after August 31, 2020 and requires the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission to establish new medical fee schedules applicable on and after September 1, 2020. The bill groups the new fee schedules into 4 non-hospital regions and 14 hospital regions. It sets a procedure for determining the initial workers' compensation maximum fees for each procedure, treatment, or service code, and provides for annual adjustments to those fees based on the Consumer Price Index. The bill also allows for petitions to the Commission to modify the maximum fees if they would create a significant limitation on access to quality health care.
