Injured Workers often have many medical bills related to their injury. Medical providers have 1 year to submit bills to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC). Medical services may include your workers comp doctor office visits, emergency room visit, x-ray, MRI or even physical therapy. If the doctor or ER fail to submit the bills within one year, the medical bill will not be paid. Unfortunately, some doctors and hospital systems will then send the medical bill to collections.
When a person is hurt at work, they have enough stress and problems. Having medical bills years after the work place injury is extremely frustrating. Sometimes, a car accident or private medical insurance may be part of the payment. It is best to submit all medical bills to the Ohio BWC to ensure you are covered in the future.
