The DDS allowable reimbursable amount payable to the medical source is in accordance with the State agency fee schedule and/or travel reimbursement policies.

NOTE: The policy in this subchapter covers only instances where subpoenas have been issued. Subpoenas are the last resort when attempting to obtain testimony and interrogatories have been ignored.
