California’s Division of Workers’ Compensation (CA DWC) issued a second-quarter update to the Physician and Non-Physician Practitioner portion of the Official Medical Fee Schedule (OMFS) for workers’ compensation.
The changes are effective for all dates of service on or after April 1, 2025. The update:
The update conforms the OMFS to relevant 2025 Medicare changes, as California Labor Code Section 5307.1 requires. The DWC announced the update in a recent Newsline, and posted the order adopting the update on the DWC website.
daisyBIll clients do not need to take any action. Our billing software automatically applies the changes for all dates of service on or after April 1. We advise non-daisyBill providers to adjust their systems appropriately.
Read on for details!
Below are the 61 new Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes the CA DWC (and Medicare) adopted for Q2 2025.
Note that when Medicare does not assign an HCPCS code a Relative Value Unit (RVU), providers calculate the reimbursement “By Report” (BR). California Code of Regulations Section 9789.12.4 provides specific guidelines for calculating BR code reimbursement rates.
