The vocational chapter of Washington L&I’s Medical Aid Rules and Fee Schedules — where 0810V, the VRC time code, is priced at $11.05 a six-minute unit.
Washington’s Department of Labor & Industries publishes the Medical Aid Rules and Fee Schedules. Chapter 25 is the vocational chapter, and it is where a vocational counsellor’s time is priced.
2026 figures; intern and forensic rates differ and live in the same chapter. Current as of July 2026 — verify with Washington L&I.
Washington referrals carry maximums — an Ability-to-Work Assessment referral caps near $7,776. The cap is not enforced by a system that blocks you; it is enforced by not paying you. Work performed past the cap is work performed for free, which makes a visible “authorised / used / remaining” figure per referral a financial control rather than a convenience.
Note also the arithmetic difference from Ohio: here the schedule figure is the unit, not the hour. If you bill in both states, check which meaning applies before you copy a habit across the border. See unit.
The Washington billing guide covers registration under WAC 296-19A, My L&I, VocLink Connect and the self-insured half of the market.
