| | California’s Division of Workers’ Compensation Posts Correction to Official Medical Fee Schedule (Hospital Outpatient Departments and Ambulatory Surgical Centers) By Lonce Lamonte and Newsline from the California Department of Industrial Relations - March 14, 2018
The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) has posted a correction to the Hospital Outpatient Departments/Ambulatory Surgical Centers portion of the Official Medical Fee Schedule. The correction, reflected in an Administrative Director order, replaces Table A found at Title 8, California Code of Regulations, section 9789.34, with a revised Table A. The order applies to services rendered on or after March 15, 2018.
The Table A replaced by the order inadvertently listed Los Angeles County twice with different county-specific wage indexes and wage-adjusted conversion factors. The correct county-specific wage index for Los Angeles County is 1.2778 and the correct wage-adjusted conversion factor is $94.04. This table is now superseded with a revised table that deletes the incorrect duplicate entry.
The March 15, 2018 effective date remains the same. The order can be found at the DWC website’s OMFS page. Revised Table A is attached to the order.
