Occupational Disease Claims

Occupational disease claims are more involved and may require more information than claims involving other injuries. Be sure to complete the steps listed below as soon as possible.

  1. Tell your employer you have been diagnosed with a workplace occupational disease.
  2. Tell your doctor/provider or emergency room the name of your managed care organization (MCO) at the time of service.
    They will need this information to file your claim.
  3. Ask your doctor/provider or emergency room to file your claim with the MCO. Your doctor is required to file the claim with your MCO within 24 hours.
