Medical treatment provided by Out-of-State Providers:
For any service (emergency or non-emergency) that is provided by an out-of-state provider, and if a claim is filed under the Kansas Workers
Compensation Law, reimbursement for such service is to be limited to the maximum allowable payment contained within the appropriate
sections of this fee schedule. Thus, any out-of-state provider who willingly provides medical service to an injured worker who is seeking
benefits under the Kansas Workers Compensation Law, must realize that said service is to be limited to this fee schedule and should take the
necessary steps to receive authorization from the insurance company, employer, or payer prior to providing said service. Prior authorization
for such services should be obtained to assure that the processing of a Workers Compensation claim will not be denied.
Additionally, absent any pre-approval by the insurance company, employer, or payer, balance billing the injured worker, or any other party,
for the services provided is prohibited.
