Washington: Department updates conversion factor rules
The Department of Labor and Industries adopted rules that updated the conversion factors and maximum daily fees for certain professional health care services for injured workers.
Anesthesia services that are paid with base and time units have a conversion factor of $3.22 per minute, which is equivalent to $48.30 per 15 minutes. When multiple physical therapy or occupational therapy treatments are performed in one day, the department or self-insurer will pay either the sum of the individual fee maximums, the provider's usual and customary charge, or $119.01, whichever is less. The rules will go into effect on July 1. For a copy of the new rules, visit www.lni.wa.gov/rules/AO11/24/1124Adoption.pdf. Read more at the WorkersComp Forum homepage.
