Historic Proposals to Improve Workers’ Access to Medical Treatment

Governor Hochul Announces Historic Proposals to Improve Workers’ Access to Medical Treatment. New legislation Would Allow All Eligible Health Care Providers To Treat Injured Workers, Ending Long Standing Requirement for Authorization by the State’s Workers’ Compensation Board. The authorization would be automatic as part of their licensing.

Currently, only providers who are authorized by the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board may treat injured workers. While there are thousands of eligible medical providers in New York State, only about 10 percent have taken the additional steps required to become Board-authorized. This degrades the quality of services.

Today, 40 percent of injured workers travel to a different county to receive care from a Board-authorized provider. On average, those in rural or suburban counties travel 35 miles or more to their workers’ compensation-related medical appointment.
