NYS WCB CMS-1500 Q&A Webinars

In order to increase health care provider participation in the workers' compensation system and improve injured workers' access to timely, quality medical care, the Workers' Compensation Board (Board) is supporting electronic submission of CMS-1500 forms, along with a medical narrative. The CMS-1500 streamlines medical billing and may reduce the paperwork requirements currently in the workers' compensation system.

Free webinar to address your questions

The Board is hosting two free online Q&A webinars to give you an update on the initiative and answer your questions about CMS-1500. Each one-hour session will provide a brief overview of the CMS-1500 initiative as well as the most frequently asked questions we’ve received. We will use the remaining time to answer any additional questions you have. Each webinar will cover identical material.

Registration is required. You can register for either session at:  http://www.wcb.ny.gov/webinars/

April 7, 2020: 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
