FAQ

Currently, yes. Apart from limited exceptions like emergency care, a provider who treats an injured worker in New York generally must be authorized by the Workers' Compensation Board.

Listings, including the curated picks, come from the federal NPI Registry, the national list of licensed health care providers, filtered to specialties that commonly treat work injuries. They are not the Workers' Compensation Board's list of authorized providers. Before you book, ask the office whether the provider is authorized by the Board, or check the Board's Health Care Provider Search. We do not accept payment for placement.
