Provider Staff Forum
New for 2018!
Educational opportunities for provider office staff
In addition to our Medical & Health Symposium clinical sessions, BWC is now offers provider staff educational sessions conducted by BWC experts on Friday, March 9, 2018.
We recommend office staff/administrators who manage the day-to-day operations of workers’ compensation processes and workflows within a health-care system attend this track.
This track features state experts in workers’ compensation from BWC and managed care organizations (MCOs).
By attending you will learn more about:
- Alternative dispute resolution and bill-grievance processes;
- Billing and reimbursement;
- MCO and BWC personnel roles and responsibilities;
- Necessary medical documentation;
- Presumptive authorization and prior authorization;
- Reporting an injury, narrative descriptions, ICD-10 codes, symptoms and injury details;
- Self-insured claim differences;
