It’s time to reveal what’s really harming injured workers in California.

Starting today, DaisyBill will publicize the reduced reimbursement rates foisted on our provider clients by Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO).

California establishes reasonable reimbursements with the Official Medical Fee Schedule (OMFS). In theory, OMFS rates should reflect the time and resources necessary to treat injured workers — generally about 130% of Medicare rates. In reality, PPOs completely undermine that calculus, making workers’ comp an increasingly poor proposition for providers and limiting injured workers’ options.

Why does any provider accept this state of affairs? Largely, it’s because providers are unaware of just how much revenue they’re losing to PPO discount entities.

Today, DaisyBill changes that.
