Oct 7, 2013 | Top Stories, WHN Stories |

Dan Knodl, R-Germantown, and other legislators to the Workers' Compensation Advisory Council last week was any mention of a fee schedule based on Medicare rates. Proposed by the council's management members as a way to clamp down on health care costs, the idea has been fiercely opposed by members of the medical community. Knodl tells Wisconsin Health News he's not necessarily against a fee schedule, but is open to looking at alternatives. (WHN, 10/7)
