Title: ●Longshore Act Medical Fee Schedule
Abstract: The Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act(LHWCA) directs the Secretary of Labor to actively supervise the medical care and treatment given to injured workers and to determine the necessity, character and sufficiency of the care furnished and to regulate the amounts charged by medical providers for providing such medical services and supplies. The proposed rule clarifies this authority, which is delegated to OWCP's district directors, and the procedure for challenging its exercise. The proposed rule also provides that the recent expansion of the OWCP Medical Fee Schedule to cover pharmacy and inpatient hospital care may be used to determine the prevailing community rate for such services under the LHWCA. Finally, the proposed rule clarifies the circumstances under which a doctor may not be selected to perform an impartial medical examination.
