Last update
April 13, 2021

To find the Pharmaceuticals Fee Schedule, navigate to the Department of Industrial Relations Official Medical Fee Schedule (OMFS) website which hosts the pharmaceutical fee schedule calculator.

Step 1. From OMFS Page → Click ‘Pharmaceuticals’

Step 2. Click ‘Fees for pharmaceuticals’

Use the Workers’ compensation pharmacy fee schedule - Simple prescription page to:

  • Download the current Medi-Cal pharmacy fee rates, and
  • Calculate the current price of simple prescriptions.

Every Wednesday the DWC updates the reimbursement amounts listed in the DWC Pharmacy Fee Schedule. Each Wednesday the changes to the Pharmacy Fee Schedule include the following:

  1. New NDC numbers with reimbursements
  2. Existing NDC numbers with new reimbursement amounts
  3. Deletion of existing NDC numbers and reimbursements

For NDC numbers deleted by a weekly update, the Pharmacy Fee Schedule incorrectly states “No record matches the NDC number with a price date on or before xx/xx/xxxx.”  However, those deleted NDC numbers remain valid and reimbursable for their prior effective dates of service. For more information, please see this FAQ: Does the DWC Pharmacy Fee Schedule work for past dates of service?
