The Kansas Workers Compensation Law specifically dictates that an injured
employee shall not be liable for any charges above the amount contained within this fee schedule. The respective
section of the Kansas Workers Compensation Law (K.S.A. 44-510j(h)) that prohibits an injured employee for being
liable for any charges above the amount contained within this fee schedule reads as follows:
Any health care provider, nurse, physical therapist, any entity providing medical, physical or vocational
rehabilitation services or providing reeducation or training pursuant to K.S.A. 44-510g and amendments
thereto, medical supply establishment, surgical supply establishment, ambulance service or hospital
which accept the terms of the workers compensation act by providing services or material thereunder
shall be bound by the fees approved by the director and no injured employee or dependent of a
deceased employee shall be liable for any charges above the amounts approved by the director.
Interpreter Services:
If the services of an interpreter are required for the provision of medical care to a hearing
impaired, speech impaired, or other person whose primary language is other than English, the following will apply:
Maximum allowable payment for the first hour or less is limited to $35.00.
Each additional quarter hour increment of time is to be paid at $8.75 per quarter hour increment.
Any reimbursement for necessary travel mileage (including any tolls and parking fees actually incurred)
is to be at the rate prescribed for compensation of state officers and employees pursuant to K.S.A. 75-
3203a.
