Changes to the 2025 OWCP Fee Schedules
OWCP has released changes to the 2025 OWCP Fee Schedules. Please select this link for more information.
Changes to the 2025 OWCP Fee Schedules
Fees for some categories of services will be published separately as standalone fee schedules. Examples include:
- Home Healthcare Fee Schedule (HHC)
- Dental Fee Schedule, Durable Medical Equipment, Prosthetics, Orthotic Devices, Orthotics, and Supplies (DMEPOS)
- Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (CLINLAB)
- Physician-Administered Drugs and Biologicals (PADB)
The Table of Relative Value Units (RVU) and Conversion Factors (CF) will no longer display pay status. The "Pay Status" was removed on the 08/29/2025 file. This change was made to maintain consistency across all OWCP fee schedules, which do not display coverage status within the published schedule. Previously, "Pay Status" served as an indicator of coverage status. To provide more accurate and timely information, coverage status should be determined directly through OWCP's Workers’ Compensation Medical Bill Processing (WCMBP) portal. Providers and claimants should use the "Eligibility Inquiry" function within the portal to confirm whether a specific service code is covered. Accessing this information through the WCMBP portal ensures that providers and claimants are viewing the most current details available.
The Table of RVUs and CFs now includes a new column with the header "Maximum Allowable Amount (MAA)." When the MAA is shown, providers can disregard the RVUs, GPCIs, and CFs to determine MAA payment.
The HHC, dental, and CLINLAB fee schedules now only display the MAA applicable to all service localities. Reimbursements will not be adjusted by geographic practice cost indexes (GPCIs).
