What it does
Existing law establishes a workers' compensation system, administered by the Administrative Director of the Division of Workers' Compensation, to compensate an employee for injuries sustained in the course of his or her employment. Existing law, operative only until the administrative director adopts a regulation specifying separate reimbursement, if any, for implantable medical hardware or instrumentation for complex spinal surgeries, requires that implantable medical devices, hardware, and instrumentation for specified Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) be separately reimbursed in accordance with a prescribed formula.
