Workers’ comp insurer pushes for cut to ‘soaring’ medical rebates
iCare is also suggesting injured workers pay a gap fee
Doctors’ fees could be cut and injured workers forced to pay a gap payment for medical treatment under a suggested overhaul to the workers’ compensation insurance scheme in NSW.
“Currently, the gazette fees paid to surgeons for [compensation] claims are up to four times those of the MBS, making them the most expensive in the country,” the state’s largest work compensation insurer iCare says.
