If you suffer a minor injury that may or may not
include time off work of seven
days, or less, BWC considers your claim a medical-only claim.
The managed care organizations (MCOs)
automatically send copies of medical
evidence from the treating provider
to BWC upon receipt. BWC uses this evidence
to make an initial claim determination and to
investigate the claim for potential subrogation.
Some minor injury, medical-only claims do not require
medical evidence for the claims service specialists (CSS)
to make a decision.
