2012 MCO open enrollment
April 30 to May 25, 2012
The 2012 MCO open enrollment period begins at 7:30 a.m., April 30 and ends at 5:30 p.m., May 25.
Open enrollment gives all state-fund employers (with an active workers' compensation policy) an
opportunity to choose a managed care organization (MCO) to help manage the medical portion of their
workers' compensation claims. A strong MCO-employer partnership also helps injured workers receive the
treatment they need to get back to work as safely and quickly as possible.
Choosing an MCO that meets the needs of your business and your workers is an important decision.
To help you make your choice, we have created the MCO Selection Guide and MCO Report Card
(see Related links below). Take time to connect with your MCO.
The guide provides instructions, and the report card provides 2011 MCO performance information intended to
help you with the selection process. These measures include return-to-work statistics that indicate how well
the MCOs are helping injured workers get back on their jobs.
If you are satisfied with your MCO, you do not need to do anything. However, if you decide to select a new
MCO, you can complete the online MCO Selection Form, or you can download and print a blank form, complete it
and mail or fax it to BWC. We have included links to the online form and the printable form below. If you change
your MCO during open enrollment, the new MCO will begin managing the medical portion of your claims July 2, 2012.
Note: MCOs cannot market their services to employers before April 30. However, if you would
like more information you may contact any MCO prior to the open enrollment period. MCOs may respond to
requests initiated by employers prior to April 30.
We designed the resources below to help you with the open enrollment process. However, if you need
additional assistance, please call our MCO selection line at 800-859-6631. Representatives are
available from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
