New Public Comment Period for Proposed Workers Compensation Fee Schedule began on October 3, 2018

Working extensively with New York State medical facilities of all shapes and sizes, we work with the Workers Compensation Fee Schedule on a regular basis.

Keeping up to date on potential changes is a job I take seriously.

The first draft of the new New York State Workers Compensation Fee Schedule can be found here:

http://www.wcb.ny.gov/content/main/hcpp/FeeSchedules.jsp

The public comment period for that draft has already ended.

The New York State Register for 10/3/18 has been released, and our new 30 day public comment period began on that day.

The New York State Register is sort of like a newspaper for what our state government has been up to lately.

The editions for 2018 can be found here

Please write to the board at regulations@wcb.ny.gov in order to have any changes that you feel are necessary get made.
