Effective February 1, 2021, the cost of a PPD evaluation for 2 body parts rose from $865.02 to $901.35.<\/p>\n

Two of the most common reasons an injured worker may have to pay for a rating out-of-pocket include situations in which the insurer is attempting to close the claim without a rating (although, there may still be a way to keep the burden on the Insurer in this case), and when the injured worker disagrees with the resulting percentage from a prior rating evaluation.<\/p>\n
