MEMORANDUM OPINION
ADAMS, Presiding Judge:
Petitioners allege the Workers’ Compensation Court erred in ordering payment of medical charges in excess of the amount authorized under Oklahoma’s fee schedule. Both at trial and in this review, Respondent Columbia Regional Hospital claims: (1) Petitioners authorized the medical treatment and have waived the right to question the reasonableness of the charges; and (2) application of the fee schedule to out-of-state medical providers such as Columbia was not mandatory.
