The North Carolina Industrial Commission published a "Notice of Rule-Making by the North Carolina Industrial Commission Regarding Revised Fees for Chiropractors" in the North Carolina Public Register on December 1, 1999, and on the Industrial Commission’s web site continuously from November 4th, 1999, through January 12, 2000.

Pursuant to the Notice, a Public Hearing was held on December 17, 1999, in the North Carolina Industrial Commission Hearing Room, Room 2173 of the Dobbs Building in Raleigh, NC. An affidavit and exhibits submitted by Jennifer Gudac, Chief Medical Fee Examiner of the Industrial Commission, were received into the record. No other material was introduced at the Public Hearing. Richard Armstrong, D.C., Shawn Phalen, D.C., and Christine Caron appeared on behalf of the N.C. Chiropractic Association and offered comments when invited to do so at the Public Hearing. Sue K. Stovall appeared and offered comments on behalf of the Physical Therapists. The record of the Public Hearing was held open for written comments through the close of business on January 11, 2000.

After careful review of the record, the Commission adopts the following:

The Chiropractic Fee Schedule shall become effective April 1, 2000.

The Industrial Commission takes this action pursuant to Sections 97-26(a), 97-26(b)(3), and 97-80(a) of the North Carolina General Statutes.
