NOTICE
" 13. Treatment and care of injured employees. (a) The employer
shall
promptly provide for an injured employee such medical, surgical or other
attendance or treatment, nurse and hospital service, medicine, crutches and
apparatus for such period as the nature of the injury or the process of
recovery may require. The employer shall be liable for the payment of the
expenses of medical, surgical or other attendance or treatment, nurse and
hospital service, medicine, crutches, and apparatus necessitated by the injury
of an employee, for such period as the nature of the injury or the process of
recovery may require. All fees and other charges for such treatment and
services shall be limited to such charges as prevail in the same community for
similar treatment of injured persons of a like standard of living.
"The Commissioner shall prepare and establish a schedule for the State, or
schedules limited to defined localities, of minimum charges and fees for such
medical treatment and care, to be determined in accordance with and to be
subject to change pursuant to rules promulgated by the Commissioner. Before
preparing such schedule for the State or schedules for limited localities the
Commissioner shall request the president of the Medical Society of the State
of New York to submit to him a report on the amount of remuneration deemed
by such society to be fair and adequate for the types of medical care to be
rendered under this Chapter, but consideration shall be given to the view of
other interested parties. The amounts payable by the employer for such
treatment and services shall in no case be less than the fees and charges
established by such schedule. Nothing in this schedule, however, shall prevent
voluntary payment of amounts higher than the fees and charges fixed therein,
but no physician rendering medical treatment or care may receive payment
in any higher amount unless such increased amount has been authorized by
the employer, or by decision as provided in Section 13-g herein." Chapter
258, Laws of 1935.
"Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing the employment of
a duly authorized physician on a salary basis by an authorized compensation
medical bureau or laboratory." Chapter 930, Laws of 1935.
Following several hearings and conferences upon the subject, and upon the
recommendation of the Industrial Council, the following is hereby established
under the above provisions as the Minimum Fee Schedule for Medical Treat-
ment and Care of Injured Employees, to apply to the entire State of New
York, effective immediately.
FRIEDA S. MILLER,
Industrial Commissioner.
New York State
Department of Labor,
May 15, 1938.
