Table 3  Characteristics of Non-Facility Provider Fee Schedules as of January 1, 2008
States use various methods to determine their allowable fees for health care providers rendering services in non-facility settings (meaning non-hospital or a hospital like "facility").  This table details when states initially enacted a medical provider fee schedule for workers' compensation; the basis of their allowable fees; when those fees were last updated, where the regulations can be found and if those fees can be negotiated above or below the allowable fee.
