Summary

Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries sustained in the course of the employee's employment. Existing law requires the employer to provide medical, surgical, chiropractic, acupuncture, and hospital treatment, as specified, that is reasonably required to cure or relieve the injured worker from the effects of the worker's injury. Existing law also requires the employer to reimburse the employee for the employee's medical-legal expenses, as specified. Existing law requires the administrative director to adopt and revise a fee schedule for medical-legal expenses at the same time the director adopts and revises the medical fee schedule. This bill would require the administrative director to adopt and revise the medical-legal fee schedule at least every 2 years and to do so separate and apart from adopting and revising the medical fee schedule.
