Dear Colleagues just a F.Y.I.,

Seems ORS 742.525 and the subsequent interpretation by the Insurance Division that providers may not charge their patient more than the W/C fee schedule is unconstitutional.

A neurosurgeon friend is going to gain the opinion of an appellate attorney who is a leading expert in the state auto insurance realm.

If this attorney agrees that the new law is indeed unconstitutional then a legal action would follow to disallow this new requirement....

I'll keep you posted,

Vern, I disagree, I think doctors fees is a big issue in all insurance covered cases and much like the insurance backed ballot measure 35, the medical doctors themselves might find themselves in bed with a few snakes waiting to 'bite' them.

Well understood Sharron but doubtful I think the issue is to small of potatoes for them to spend the money on an initiative.
