We will pay physicians not employed by the Federal government and other non-Federal
providers of medical services, including chiropractors and school systems for school
psychologists, if there is a charge, for the reasonable cost of preparing, reproducing,
or abstracting existing medical evidence that we require and request.
NOTE: If school records include evidence from a school psychologist, then the evidence
may be paid for as MER. If the school records do not include evidence from a school
psychologist, then the evidence may be paid for as an “other” cost (DI
39548.001).
