The short answer
Can I get the 631 LSO Essential through workers’ comp or no-fault in New York?
When your treating provider prescribes it for a work injury or a motor-vehicle accident, CityDME can supply it under the New York workers’ comp or no-fault claim. A prescription is always required for a claim. Coverage, any prior authorization, and patient cost depend on the claim, the applicable fee schedule, and payer review.
As described by Coretech Orthopedics
What it is
The 631 LSO Essential is the Essential tier of Coretech’s 631 LSO line (the 631 Pro and 631 Ultra are separate models). Coretech describes it for chronic lumbar conditions, with a pulley system that lets the clinician set the level of compression.
Elongated back panel
A tall rear panel that covers the lumbar-sacral region.
Pulley compression system
Compression is adjusted through a pulley system rather than straps alone.
Thumb and hand loops
Loops on the closure help the wearer pull the brace snug.
Two extenders included
Belt extenders widen the fit beyond the standard size range.

How to get it through a New York claim
Your treating provider decides what’s medically necessary. CityDME checks the referral, bills the carrier directly, and delivers.
The treating provider prescribes it
A claim always needs a prescription, and it decides the exact model and size or side. Send it with the claim type (workers’ comp or no-fault) and any claim details you have.
We review the referral the next business day
CityDME checks the order and claim details for completeness and lets the sender know if a document is missing. For workers’ comp items that need prior authorization, the Board-authorized prescribing provider submits the PAR through OnBoard; DME suppliers cannot.
We coordinate delivery
Once documentation is complete, we schedule delivery. Coverage and any patient cost remain subject to the claim, the applicable fee schedule, and payer review.
Common questions
Which size will I get?
Coretech makes the 631 LSO Essential in S through 2XL, extending to 4XL with the included extender (25″ to 68″ waist). The size follows the prescription and measurement, and we confirm it before delivery.
Does CityDME submit the workers’ comp prior authorization?
No. When an item requires prior authorization under New York workers’ comp, the Board-authorized prescribing provider submits the PAR through OnBoard. DME suppliers are not eligible to submit PARs, and CityDME does not submit them.
What do you need for a no-fault (car accident) claim?
The prescription, plus the claim number, carrier, accident date, and assignment-of-benefits paperwork so the no-fault carrier can be billed directly. If a document is missing from the referral, we let you know which one.
Which New York rules apply?
Equipment on a New York claim is billed under the workers’ compensation DME fee schedule, or the no-fault (Regulation 68) fee schedule for auto claims. A claim always needs a prescription, coverage depends on the claim and payer review, and for workers’ comp any prior authorization is provider-submitted through OnBoard.
