AA bills for $825.00 for a three hour depo, including preparation time. DA recommends to IC payment in the amount of $750.00, and instructs them not to pay more. The difference is $75.00. AA argues that $275.00 per hour is reasonable based on his experience, and files a petition for the full amount. DA objects to the order allowing fees at the rate of $275.00 per hour. AA files a DOR. Both parties appear at the Board on this disputed issue. The Board allows the $275.00 per hour, and orders IC to pay the extra $75.00. By now the DA has charged the IC $495.00 for the appearance. I don't get it. What am I missing? I don't understand why the claims examiner is not seeing that this is not cost efficient for them or the ER.
