9. In the performance
of its functions, the agency is authorized to make rules and regulations
prescribing the procedures to be followed in the filing of applications
and the proceedings under P.L.1971, c.317, and such other matters as the
agency deems appropriate.
In determining the amounts of compensation payable pursuant to P.L.1971,
c.317, the agency shall insofar as practicable formulate standards for uniform
application of this act and shall take into consideration rates and amounts
of compensation payable for injuries and death under other laws of this
State and of the United States and the availability of funds appropriated
for the purposes of P.L.1971, c.317.
The agency shall establish maximum rates and service limitations for reimbursement
for medical and medical related expenses, including counseling. In establishing
these rates, the agency shall reflect the medical fee schedules for health
care providers established by the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance
pursuant to the provisions of section 10 of P.L.1988, c.119 (C.39:6A-4.6).
A medical service provider who accepts payment from the agency for a service
shall accept the agency's rates as payment in full and shall not accept
any payment on account of the service from any other source if the total
of payments accepted would exceed the maximum rate set by the agency for
that service.
All standards formulated and maximum rates and service limitations for reimbursement
established by the agency shall be subject to the prior review and approval
of the Review Board.
