2008 MCO open enrollment
Open enrollment is May 5 to May 30, 2008

The 2008 open enrollment period begins at 7:30 a.m. May 5 and ends at 5:30 p.m. May 30.

Open enrollment gives all state-fund employers (with an active workers’ compensation policy) an opportunity to choose the 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 Open Enrollment Guide and MCO Report Card (see Related links below).

The guide provides instructions to help you with the selection process, and the report card provides 2007 MCO performance information.

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 MCO Selection Form online, or you can download and print a blank form, complete it and mail or fax it to BWC. Links to the online form and the printable form are found below.

Please note: MCOs cannot market to employers before May 5. However, if you would like more information you may contact any MCO prior to the open enrollment period. MCOs can respond to requests initiated by employers prior to May 5.

The resources found here are designed 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.
