California's Division of Workers' Compensation Posts Adjustments to Official Medical Fee Schedule (DMEPOS) By Lonce Lamonte and the California DWC Newsline - September 27, 2023
The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) has posted an order adjusting the Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotics and Supplies (DMEPOS) section of the Official Medical Fee Schedule to conform to the Quarter 4, 2023, change in the Medicare payment system as required by Labor Code section 5307.1.
The order adopts the Medicare Quarter 4 updated DMEPOS file and rural ZIP code file for services on or after October 1, 2023. There was no Medicare Quarter 4 change to the parenteral/enteral nutrition (PEN) file; therefore, the annual PEN file update remains in effect.
