Workers' compensation; payment for medical services. Limits the liability of an employer for medical treatment provided to an injured person that is rendered by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant serving as an assistant-at surgery to no more than 20 percent of the reimbursement due to the physician performing the surgery and the liability for treatment provided by an assistant surgeon in the same specialty as the primary surgeon to no more than 50 percent of the reimbursement due to the physician performing the surgery. The measure requires multiple procedures completed on a single surgical site associated with medical, surgical, and hospital services rendered on or after July 1, 2014, to be coded and billed with appropriate Current Procedural Terminology modifiers and paid according to the National Correct Coding Initiative rules and hospital in-patient care to be coded and billed through the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. The measure also (i) establishes prompt payment requirements with respect to health care services provided under the Workers' Compensation Act; (ii) prohibits an employer or insurer from seeking recovery of a payment made to a health care provider for health care services rendered after July 1, 2014, absent fraud, unless recovery is sought less than one year from the date payment was made; (iii) prohibits a health care provider from submitting a claim to the Workers' Compensation Commission contesting the sufficiency of payment for health care services rendered to a claimant on or after July 1, 2014, unless such claim is filed within one year from the date the last payment is received by the provider or the date the medical award for a specific item or treatment that is denied or contested by the employer becomes final; (iv) provides that health care providers located outside of the Commonwealth shall be reimbursed according to these prompt payment and claims limitations and the "same community" shall be deemed the principal place of business of the employer if located in the Commonwealth or, if no such location exists, the location where the Commission hearing regarding the dispute is conducted; and (v) clarifies the application of the balance billing prohibition.
