A big change is coming to New York workers’ comp—and providers should act now.

Starting August 1, 2025, providers must submit all medical bills for injured worker treatment electronically (e-billing).

The New York Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) will not require payers to process or pay paper bills providers send after July 31.

Providers who haven’t done so already must select a WCB-approved XML Submission Partner, which will:

• Send e-bills to the payer (aka: claims administrator) and
• Report e-bill data to the WCB in the mandatory XML format

The switch to statewide e-billing is a good thing. e-Billing reduces providers' billing burdens and allows the NY WCB to collect credible data to help formulate improvements to New York’s workers’ comp.

daisyBill is here to answer providers’ questions about this transition. The WCB is also hosting multiple sessions of its live webinars and Q&A for e-billing. With only a few months left, it’s time to get your practice fully prepared!

First (and Most Important) Step: Choose Your XML Partner

Switching to e-billing isn’t optional—but your choice of XML Partner is. And it matters.

The WCB has approved eight XML Submission Partners, including daisyBill.

Some of these partners are general clearinghouses used by payers to accept e-bills. daisyBill is different—we’re purpose-built workers’ comp billing software designed to help providers manage their workers’ comp bills more efficiently.

The daisyBill Difference

Different payers use different clearinghouses, so sending all your e-bills through a single clearinghouse increases the risk of losing bills and delaying payment.

As the diagram below illustrates, daisyBill maintains direct connections to the four major clearinghouses (and an internal database of clearinghouse/Payer ID combinations, both of which are necessary for successful e-bill delivery).

We also connect directly to the two payers that do not use a clearinghouse: CorVel and the Department of Labor.

The result is consistent delivery, no lost bills, and faster payment.

Do not wait until August to choose your XML Partner and commence e-billing. Regardless of which XML Partner you choose, the transition will require time and staff training.

e-Billing Resources for NY Providers

The WCB wants providers to be ready for the switch to e-billing. To that end, they’re hosting live e-billing webinars and Q&A sessions. The next session is on May 27 (providers can register here) with four more sessions upcoming in June and July.

daisyBill is also here to help New York providers.
