Senator Ed Hernandez (D-West Covina) recently amended SB 1215 to prohibit physicians from referring their patients to four specific in-office services: advanced imaging (MRIs/CT scans), anatomic pathology, radiation therapy, and physical therapy.

SB 1215 will be heard in the Senate Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee on Monday, April 21. We urge all members to write to the members of the Senate BP and ED Committee as soon as possible voicing opposition to passage of SB 1215.

What the DWC calls “adjustments,” in the Newsline below are in reality, major changes to the workers’ compensation fee schedules, affecting reimbursements for pharmaceutical NDC numbers, DMEPOS, and splinting and casting Q codes.  

Providers and claims administrators must adjust their billing and processing practices immediately as the changes are effective now and even retroactive to dates of service on or after 4/1/2014.
