Article 2 - Compensation
13-G - Payment of Bills for Medical Care.

(2) If the parties fail to agree to the value of medical aid rendered
under this chapter, such value shall be decided by a single arbitrator
process, pursuant to rules promulgated by the chair. The chair shall
appoint a physician who is a member in good standing of the medical
society of the state of New York to determine the value of such disputed
medical bill. Where the physician whose charges are being arbitrated is
a member in good standing of the New York osteopathic society, the value
of such disputed bill shall be determined by a member in good standing
of the New York osteopathic society appointed by the chair. Where the
physician whose charges are being arbitrated is a member in good
standing of the New York homeopathic society, the value of such disputed
bill shall be determined by a member in good standing of the New York
homeopathic society appointed by the chair. Where the value of any other
authorized provider's services are at issue, such value shall be
determined by a member in good standing of one or more recognized
professional associations representing its respective profession in the
state of New York appointed by the chair. Decisions rendered under the

single arbitrator process shall be conclusive upon the parties as to the
value of the services in dispute.
(3) A provider or supplier initiating a single arbitrator process,
pursuant to this section shall not pay a fee to cover the costs related
to the conduct of such arbitration. (4) In claims where the employer has
failed to secure compensation to his employees as required by section
fifty of this chapter, the board may make an award for the value of
medical services, supplies or treatment rendered to such employees, in
accordance with the schedules of fees and charges prepared and
established under the provisions of this chapter. Such award shall be
made to the medical care provider or supplier entitled thereto. A
default in the payment of such award may be enforced in the manner
provided for the enforcement of compensation awards as set forth in
section twenty-six of this article.
In all cases coming under this subdivision the payment of the claim
for medical care or supplies shall be subordinate to that of the
claimant or his or her beneficiaries.
