|
In the performance of its functions, the board is authorized
to make rules and regulations prescribing the procedures to be followed
in the filing of applications and the proceedings under this act,
and such other matters as the board deems appropriate.
In determining the amounts of compensation payable pursuant to
this act the board shall, insofar as practicable, formulate standards
for uniform application of this act and shall take into consideration
rates and amounts of compensation payable for injuries and death
under other laws of this State and of the United States and the
availability of funds appropriated for the purposes of this act.
The board shall establish maximum rates and service limitations
for reimbursement for medical and medical related expenses, including
counseling. In establishing these rates, the board shall reflect
the medical fee schedules for health care providers established
by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance pursuant to the provisions
of section 10 of P.L.1988,c.119 (C.39:6A-4.6). Medical service provider
who accepts payment from the board for a service shall accept the
board's rates as payment in full and shall not accept any payment
on account of the service from any other source if the total of
payments accepted would exceed the maximum rate set by the board
for that service.
This act shall take effect immediately.
