BWC’s pharmacy benefits program covers outpatient medications prescribed to treat conditions related to an injured worker’s state-fund, black lung and Marine Industrial Fund claim. Under BWC’s program, pharmacists can submit most drug bills directly to BWC at the point of service through BWC’s pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), ACS State Healthcare. As soon as an injury occurs, even before BWC assigns a claim number the pharmacist can submit a drug bill to BWC.
