Institute Analyzes Impact of California Medical Provider Network Option for Workers April 16, 2021
Legislation intended to increase injured California workers’ access to medical care by requiring the state to create a medical provider network as an alternative to private networks that render 90% of California workers’ compensation treatment would significantly increase medical costs and require millions of dollars in ongoing administrative and infrastructure expense, a California Workers’ Compensation Institute analysis finds.
Assembly Bill 1465 would require the administrative director of the state’s workers’ compensation system to establish a statewide medical provider network, called the California Medical Provider Network, and give employees the choice to treat within their employer’s MPN or the CAMPN.
