More information about differential payments between states for the same services.
This table provides information about payments by states for psychiatric treatment funded by workers compensation schemes. I wrote a previous blog about the different rates of payment for reports by psychiatrists. ‘Australian fee schedules for independent psychiatric assessment’ It is surprising how Victoria lags behind the other states but on the other hand some of the other states are having cost blowouts with their schemes and one can expect little interest in any movement on fees.
