Comments of Connecticut State Medical Society concerning proposed practitioner fee schedule regulations before the Workers' Compensation Commission 23 September 1993.
The Connecticut General Assembly passed legislation last session reforming the workers' compensation system. One provision of that legislation mandated the establishment of a medical fee schedule for the workers' compensation system by 1 October 1993. In response to that mandate, Workers' Compensation Commission Chairman Jesse Frankl relied upon the work and advice of his Medical Fee Advisory Group, of which the Connecticut State Medical Society was a member, and published proposed regulations for a medical fee schedule in the 31 August 1993 Connecticut Law Journal. A public hearing on those regulations was held on 23 September 1993. The following is testimony submitted by the Connecticut State Medical Society at that public hearing in support of those regulations.
