It is amazing that NY fee schedule is lower the maryland. This is suprising to me. I'm not sure what to say, except I feel that shortly I will be doing the same thing. Because it was recently brought to my atty.'s attention that my dr. is out of network. (although they have been paying his fee's for 2 years.) so I may be able to fight it with the workers comp. board.

Have you applied for medicaid? They will usually cover out of network dr.'s if your dr. is referring. I wish you the best of luck and I hope and pray that this is quickly resolved for you.
