BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.
To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.
To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Florida legislators are considering a bill that would increase by up to 50% fees paid to expert medical witnesses and physicians in workers compensation.
S.B. 1344, introduced Wednesday, states that any health care provider who gives a deposition shall be allowed a witness fee that may not exceed $300 per hour, up from $200 in current law. Under the bill an expert witness reviewing medical records for an expert opinion may not charge more than $300 per day, up from $200.
The bill also increases maximum reimbursements for a physician to 200% of the reimbursement allowed by Medicare, up from the current 110%. The maximum reimbursement for surgical procedures shall be increased to 200% of the Medicare rate, up from the current 140%.
