WCB Medical Treatment Guidelines

In 2010, The NYS Workers’ Compensation Board implemented Medical Treatment Guidelines (MTGs) as mandated by legislation. The Medical Treatment Guidelines serve as the standard of care for injured workers, having been expanded through the years to outline acceptable and effective delivery of care for work-related injuries affecting nearly every part of the body.
