The short answer
Can I get the 670 Universal Arm Sling 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.

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
How is this different from the 670 Abduction Sling?
The Universal Arm Sling (SUP2101BLK) has no abduction pillow. The 670 Abduction Sling (SUP2068BLK) adds a removable pillow that holds the arm at 15° of abduction. The prescription decides which one is supplied.
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.
