Oregon: Hearing services are subject of temporary rules

The Workers' Compensation Division adopted temporary rules regarding hearing services and durable medical equipment, prosthetics, and orthotics.

The rules require payment for hearing services at the provider's usual rate, unless otherwise provided by a contract. The rules also specify maximum monthly rental rates for certain codes used to bill for durable medical equipment, prosthetics, and orthotics, and explain how to determine daily rates. The temporary rules went into effect on April 23.
