MEMORANDUM NO. 1998-04

Revised Official Connecticut Practitioner Fee Schedule Including Practitioner Billing & Payment Guidelines

I am very pleased to announce the availability of the first revision of the Official Connecticut Practitioner Fee Schedule from Medicode, Inc., in both printed and electronic formats.

The revised Connecticut fee schedule is effective for medical services rendered on or after April 1, 1998, regardless of the date of accident. Prior services will remain subject to the 1994 and 1995 fee schedules.

The Official Connecticut Practitioner Fee Schedule is a comprehensive billing tool that assists medical providers and payers in accurately describing their services under the Connecticut workers' compensation system. A tremendous improvement for health care providers and payers who furnish health care services under the Connecticut State Workers' Compensation System, the revised fee schedule includes many new procedures and coding changes, as well as the Practitioner Billing & Payment Guidelines previously available at a separate cost.

The exclusive distributor of the Official Connecticut Practitioner Fee Schedule is Medicode, Inc., 5225 Wiley Post Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. The price is $75 for the printed version and $295 for the single-user ASCII diskette version. You may telephone Medicode Sales at 1-800-999-4600 toll-free.
