2023 CA Physician Fee Schedule Changes

2023 CA Physician Fee Schedule Changes

California’s Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) issued an update to the Physician and Non-Physician Practitioner portion of the Official Medical Fee Schedule (OMFS) for workers’ compensation, effective for all dates of service on or after February 15, 2023.  

The update:

  • Increases California workers’ comp’s Conversion Factor
  • Alters the reimbursement calculation for 4 procedure codes
  • Changes the Status Code of CPT 99358 and CPT 99359 to ‘I’
  • Adds 409 new procedure codes
  • Deletes 125 existing procedure codes

The update aligns the OMFS to relevant 2023 changes in the Medicare payment system, as required by California Labor Code Section 5307.1 (though as we explained previously, recent cuts to Medicare rates did not translate to lower overall reimbursement rates for physician services in California).

The DWC announced the update in a Newsline, and posted the order adopting the update on its website. Read on for details!

Conversion Factor Increased

Calculating reimbursement rates for physician services first requires determining the “Base Maximum Fee,” before applying other fee-affecting modifiers or rules. Under the current fee schedule, based on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS), the Base Maximum Fee is calculated using three factors:

  1. Relative Value Units (RVUs) as determined by Medicare
  2. Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) as determined by Medicare
  3. Conversion Factor (CF) as determined by the California DWC

The Conversion Factor used to calculate OMFS reimbursements for physician services is increasing from $46.45 to $47.21 (even as Medicare rates decrease); the OMFS will pay 139.32% of Medicare rates for the same services.

With this Conversion Factor increase, the DWC is acknowledging that treating injured workers requires about 40% more work than treating a Medicare patient — though California still allows PPOs to drastically reduce reimbursement rates to well below OMFS (and sometimes even below Medicare) rates.

Reimbursement Calculation Altered

In addition to the above changes, 4 existing procedure codes formerly billable only “By Report” now have established reimbursement amounts:

RVU+GPCI+CF

Effective February 15th, Medicare assigned the above-noted codes RVUs. Therefore, the reimbursements are now calculated using the appropriate GPCI assigned to the place of service, and the Conversion Factor adopted by the DWC.

CPTs 99358 and 99359 Non-Face-To-Face Services

Effective February 15, 2023, an update to the Official Medical Fee Schedule (OMFS) changes the Status Code of two commonly billed non-face-to-face service CPT codes, CPT 99358 and CPT 99359.

Despite the assigned status codes change, both procedure codes remain payable under the OMFS. See the video below for details.

HCPCS: 409 New Codes & 125 Deleted Codes

Listed below are the new Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes adopted by the DWC (and CMS) for 2023, as well as codes the DWC deleted.

Note that when Medicare fails to assign an HCPCS code a Relative Value Unit (RVU), the reimbursement is calculated “By Report” (BR).

California Code of Regulations Section 9789.12.4 offers guidelines to determine appropriate reimbursement amounts for BR codes; essentially, providers find a comparable procedure in terms of time, skill, and resources required, and charge accordingly. The provider must justify the amount charged with a separate (non-reimbursable) report.
