What an East Tennessee employer should do
- Pull the March 1 experience worksheet (Order 25-64 / 26-03).
- Pull the April 1 medical-fee-schedule page ($33.4009, loads, per diems).
- Keep those two numbers in separate columns. Do not net them into one “workers-comp went down” line.
- If a bill or audit cannot be reconciled, ask the carrier to show the filed factor and the fee-schedule maximum it used.
