OhioBWC - Basics: Your Rights and Responsibilities
Your Rights and Responsibilities
Our mission at BWC is to provide a quality,
customer-focused workers' compensation insurance system
for employers and employees. But we can't do that alone.
All parties involved in the workers' compensation process including
employers, providers and injured workers, must understand their role in making
the system work.
Below are just some of your rights and responsibilities as an injured worker:
Remember to use your claim number every time you contact BWC, your MCO or
your self-insuring employer.
Give your claim number to all of the doctors who are treating your
work-related injury.
Contact the claims service specialist in your local customer service office
or your self-insuring employer to answer your questions.
