Diagnostic Testing Networks Lookup Registration
Diagnostic Testing Network Regulations require diagnostic testing networks (DTNs), as well as the claim administrators (insurance carriers, self-insured employers, and TPAs) that use them, to file information with the Board.
Claim Administrator Registration
- Insurance carriers, self-insured employers, and TPAs must complete a registration to designate an administrator using the Registration for Notification to Board of Contract with Diagnostic Testing Network (DTN) form.
- After the registration is processed, the administrator will be provided with a user id and password to allow them to log-in to perform administrator responsibilities on the Board's web site through a self-service application. The user-id will be emailed and the password will be mailed via the US Postal Service to the administrator's email and mailing address provided on the registration.
- Upon receipt of the user id and password, administrators must log-in to the self-service application and select their DTN(s) from a list of DTNs registered with the Board. This information will then be displayed on the Diagnostic Testing Network Lookup.
- Administrators must report any changes to their use of DTNs, such as new or removed DTN contracts, within 20 days of any change.
- If the use of a DTN is based on location, injured worker's employer, or any other criteria, please note that in the comments section.
DTN Registration
- DTNs can register by emailing DTNfiling@wcb.ny.gov
- DTNs must provide current contact information (email, telephone, and website), including any changes within 20 days, to the Board to ensure the accuracy of the DTN Lookup application and compliance with the DTN regulations
Failure of a claim administrator or DTN to timely supply accurate information and keep this information up-to-date may interfere with the claim administrator's ability to require an injured worker to use a Diagnostic Testing Network. It is also important to note that the lookup tool does not replace the claim administrator’s responsibility to notify the injured worker and treating provider of the existence of a DTN, as required by the regulations.
