California Division of Workers' Compensation Posts Adjustments to Official Medical Fee Schedule (DMEPOS)

The California DIR’s Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) today posted proposed regulations further revising its Workers’ Compensation Information System (WCIS) regulations and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Implementation Guides. Members of the public are invited to present written comments regarding the proposed modifications to dwcrules@dir.ca.gov until 5 p.m. on Thursday, December 15.

Following the Office of Administrative Law’s publication of DWC’s initial draft of these regulations, a public hearing was held March 28. A second draft of the regulations was released for a 15-day comment period, which ended on June 9.

Additional revisions to the regulations and to the EDI Implementation Guide for First and Subsequent Reports of Injury (FROI/SROI), Version 3.1, and the EDI Implementation Guide for Medical Bill Payment Records, Version 2.0, have been made in response to changes suggested by trading partners and other stakeholders, and a few additional changes were made to improve the quality and integrity of the data to be reported to WCIS following implementation of these changes.   

These materials can be found on the proposed regulations page. 

The Department of Industrial Relations of the state of California is at www.dir.ca.gov.  This notice was issued by the DWC Newsline as a News Release and edited by Lonce LaMon, Editor, of adjustercom at www.adjustercom.com and www.adjuster.com on November 30^th 3016.
