Doctors Win Fee Change in Arizona Industrial Commission Bill
In Phoenix the House Commerce and Industry Committee approved an amendment allowing the new industrial commission to pay doctors working on injury cases at usual or customary rates. A proposed schedule of fees was dropped. Edward Jacobson of the Arizona Medical Association warned against a fixed schedule, citing potential lower care and a national doctor shortage. Tucson surgeon Dr. Ian Chesser agreed fees will rise but opposed a set schedule due to update delays. Committee chair D Delos Ellsworth supported paying doctors at going rates.
