The short answer
Can I get the OptiFlex S Shoulder CPM 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 rental length. 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 deliver, set up, and pick up
Once documentation is complete, we schedule delivery and setup, then coordinate the return when the prescribed rental period ends.
Common questions
How long is a shoulder CPM rental?
CPM machines are rented by the week under the New York workers’ comp DME fee schedule. The start and length follow the prescription, the claim documentation, and payer review.
Who sets up the machine?
CityDME delivers the machine, sets it up for use, and coordinates pickup when the prescribed rental period ends. Settings follow the prescription.
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.
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.
