The designated treating physician is responsible for the coordination and management of all medical care for the injured employee.  Once the provider is designated  the Primary Care Provider (PCP), she/he will be paid 110% of fee schedule and all other non-facility providers will be paid at 90% of fee schedule.  The increased reimbursement rate is to compensate the PCP for the additional responsibilities associated with this role.
