The Workers’ Compensation Board (Board) is requiring health care providers to submit the CMS-1500 universal billing form electronically, through a Board-approved electronic submission partner, effective August 1, 2025. Starting that date, the workers’ compensation payer can deny payment of services if the CMS-1500 form was not submitted through a Board-approved electronic submission partner and the Board will not enforce payment.

Don't miss this important deadline and instructions to file for your portion of the multi billion dollar BCBS litigation settlement.

We are pleased to announce a new member benefit designed to enhance clinical decision-making and support evidence-based chiropractic practice: Free Access to the Clinical Compass Evidence Center, available exclusively to members of our association through participation in the State Association Program.

As you are aware, this year’s legislative session has been quite the ride! As you may recall, the budget which was due on April 1, was not approved until early May. At the same time, your NYSCA officers and legislative committee attended a leadership lobby day where we met with Assembly and Senate sponsors of our priority bills, as well as chair of the Assembly and Senate Higher Education Committees. Overall, this was a very positive and productive day, with much support noted for the various bills, including and especially our scope of practice bill.

What if you could help your patients sleep better—and enjoy exclusive perks for yourself?
