Update to Workers’ Compensation Medical Fee Schedule: 2015 CPT Codes

The American Medical Association has released its 2015 Current Procedural Terminology (CPT Codes). As a result, the North Carolina Industrial Commission is publishing the attached fees for these CPT Codes on our website at http://www.ic.nc.gov//ncic/pages/commcode.htm, effective January 1, 2015. We also have deleted the codes that the American Medical Association no longer recognizes. Effective January 1, 2010, providers may no longer use the deleted codes for billing purposes. Please see our website at http://www.ic.nc.gov//ncic/pages/feesec13.htm for the 2007-08 updates to the Dental Fee Schedule. In addition, the new mileage rate for trips taken on or after January 1, 2016, for medical treatment in workers’ compensation cases is $0.54 a mile, provided the roundtrip is 20 miles or more. You may access the new form by clicking here: http://www.ic.nc.gov//forms/form25t.pdf.

The National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) revised the CMS-1500 form in 2012. CMS discontinued acceptance of the CMS-1500 (08-05), effective April 1, 2014, and adopted the new CMS-1500 (02-12). Effective April 1, 2014, the Industrial Commission requires that providers who submit paper medical bills to carriers and third-party administrators use the CMS-1500 (02-12). As outlined in the Federal Regulation, the National Provider Identifier (NPI) is a 10-position numeric identifier, with a check digit in the 10th position, and no intelligence about the health care provider in the number. A health care provider must comply with the implementation specifications in §162.410 for the new NPI no later than May 23, 2007. In addition, The National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC) released updates to the Health Care Provider Taxonomy Code List that became effective on April 1, 2006. Additional information concerning these mandatory changes can be located by clicking on the following links:
