IWCC Dental Fee Schedule Effective Date

As previously posted, the Illinois Workers' Compensation Commission modified its dental fee schedule rates and methodology. 

The IWCC updated its website yesterday with the effective date of that schedule.  The IWCC dental fee schedule will apply for all dates of service on or after June 20, 2012. 

The full IWCC post:

The Commission has posted a fee schedule for dental services provided on or after June 20, 2012. Bills should be paid at the lesser of the actual charge or the fee schedule amount.

As part of the changes instituted by HB 1698/PA 97-18, the legislature directed the Commission to create a dental fee schedule. Thanks to the Workers' Compensation Medical Fee Advisory Board and the Illinois State Dental Society for their help in obtaining and analyzing the needed data.
