Another victory has been secured for the injured workers of Illinois.  On September 16, 2013, the 4^th District of the Appellate Court of Illinois held that a chiropractor was not entitled to a money judgment against his patient, an injured worker, for the fees of the chiropractic services.

Under the Workers’ Compensation Act, when a medical provider submits its bill to the employer’s workers’ compensation carrier, the medical provider shall not require a payment rate greater than the lesser of the actual charge or the payment level set by the Commission in the fee schedule established.
