| | July 10 | Medical Fee Guide increase: the emergency regulations became effective August 31, 2001. The final action taken by the Commission (October 2, 2001) confirmed the earlier action and thereby increased rates in the Fee Guide by 4%, effective August 31, 2001. Therefore, any services rendered after August 31, 2001 must include the 4% increase. Please note that the increase encompasses all fees listed. There will be no changes in the current Guide (1996) as offered by the publisher. Any questions may be directed to the Commission at 410-864-5300.
