Increasing access to medical care in the NYS Workers’ Compensation system

This month, the Workers’ Compensation Board proposed two regulations to update the medical fee schedules and provide additional guidance on allowable treatment by residents and fellows, a provision that passed in the FY 2025-2026 State Budget. Both regulations stem from Gov. Hochul’s State of the State agenda last year, which included several proposals to give New York’s injured workers more options for timely, high-quality medical care.
