| RE: | 2026 Official Connecticut Fee Schedule for Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers effective April 1, 2026 |
As Chairperson of the Workers’ Compensation Commission of the State of Connecticut, I am pleased to announce the publication of the 2026 Official Connecticut Fee Schedule for Hospitals and Ambulatory Surgical Centers.
Published by FAIR Health, this new fee schedule includes a link to Medicare’s IPPS Web Pricer tool and instructions for computation of inpatient reimbursement. For outpatient hospital and ambulatory surgical center reimbursement, this publication includes facilities’ wage index groups and corresponding fees based on the established formulae pursuant to §31-294d(d) C.G.S. (as amended by Public Act 14-167).
This fee schedule shall be effective for medical services rendered on or after April 1, 2026, regardless of the date of injury, which are payable to health care facilities authorized or permitted to render care under the Connecticut Workers’ Compensation Act.
Orders for the fee schedule will be available later this week. Please contact FAIR Health at 855-301-3247 or visit https://orders.fairhealth.org/.
