Louisiana SB408 revises workers' compensation laws to update the reimbursement schedule for medical services and establish the All Workers' Compensation Medical Claims Database. The bill mandates that reimbursement for medical services be based on the 75th percentile of the Practice Management Information Corporation Medical Fees Directory. It also requires all workers' compensation payors to submit medical and pharmacy claims data to the assistant secretary. The database aims to improve transparency, assist in fee schedule enforcement, evaluate medical utilization, and detect fraud.
