Significant changes to workers’ comp billing in New York State continue to unfold, and the Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) wants to help providers stay ahead of the curve.

The WCB will host an hour-long webinar on billing electronically using the universal CMS-1500 billing form on two dates in January 2025.

Beginning in August 2025, New York State will require providers treating injured workers to submit bills electronically. All providers must contract with an “XML Submission Partner” to send electronic bills (e-bills) to claims administrators (and XML versions of those bills to the WCB) on the provider’s behalf.

We urge New York providers to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about e-bill and XML requirements and ask questions. The webinar details are below!

NY Workers’ Comp Webinar: CMS-1500 Updates for Providers

Since 2022, the WCB has required workers’ comp providers to send bills using the CMS-1500 form. Starting August 1, 2025, providers must also submit all bills electronically to claims administrators.

To enforce provider e-billing, the WCB will “not take action on or enforce payment” of bills submitted on paper.

In order to receive reimbursement, providers must bill electronically through an XML Submission Partner chosen from a list of WCB-approved vendors.

The WCB will host its webinar to discuss these changes. According to an email from the WCB, the agency wants to ensure that providers are “prepared for this transition,” particularly those who “are not already using an electronic submission partner.” Each session of the webinar will cover:

• The CMS-1500 form
• The benefits of e-billing
• Approved XML submission partners
• The e-bill submission process

There will also be an opportunity for providers to pose their questions. Each session of the webinar will cover the same material; dates and times are as follows:

• January 8, 2025 12 PM - 1 PM Eastern
• January 15, 2025 12 PM - 1 PM Eastern

Providers can register for either session here.
