More than six months have passed since Act 44, the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Act, was signed into law. The act imposes additional requirements and prohibitions to the state's already complicated workers' compensation system--changes such as revisions to the reimbursement rates and fee schedule review process, self-referral prohibitions, and alterations to the utilization review and peer review process. Since these new tenets continue to affect physicians as both health care providers and employers, they are briefly reviewed here for members' reference.
自宾夕法尼亚州《工人赔偿法》第44号法案签署成为法律以来，已经过去了六个多月。该法案对该州本已复杂的工人赔偿系统施加了额外的要求和禁令——诸如报销费率和收费表审查程序的修订、自我转诊禁令以及利用审查和同行审查程序的变更等变化。由于这些新原则继续对作为医疗服务提供者和雇主的医生产生影响，在此简要回顾以供会员参考。
