Rule 8. Physicians’ Fees

Physicians shall be allowed a reasonable fee for

performing the following services:

(a) An examination under order of court pursuant to AS

47.30.700 or such other examination as may be ordered by the

court upon its own motion;

(b) Giving medical expert testimony at a hearing when

ordered by the court in relation to such examination or in

relation to an autopsy or post mortem examination ordered

pursuant to AS 12.65.020.

Fees for such services shall be paid from funds

appropriated to the judiciary. Claims for compensation shall be

submitted for approval to the judicial officer ordering the

examination or testimony, subject to final approval by the

administrative director. In all other cases, physicians’ fees shall

be paid by the requesting party or parties.

The administrative director may authorize a fee under (a)

of this rule to be computed other than on an hourly basis,

provided that such computation results in a fee that is

substantially the same as if computed hourly.
