Now Available - DME Fee Schedule Presentation

Now Available – DME Fee Schedule Presentation

The Workers’ Compensation Board (Board) is pleased to offer a recorded presentation for providers and Durable Medical Equipment (DME) suppliers on the Official New York State Workers’ Compensation Durable Medical Equipment (DME) Fee Schedule. This presentation has been posted to the DME Fee Schedule webpage along with a PDF version of the slide deck.

The 2020 DME Fee Schedule, as well as the amendments to replace the DME Fee Schedule, updated fees and the prior authorization process, will become effective later this summer. The 2020 DME Fee Schedule will be announced to coincide with the Board’s new business information system called OnBoard, which will allow a DME prior authorization to be requested through OnBoard in accordance with the fee schedule.
