The
purpose of this policy is to ensure appropriate monitoring of participating
employer utilization of transitional work plans for bonus payment calculation.
This
policy and procedure complements BWC’s Transitional
Work Bonus
Employer Policy.
This
policy applies to BWC staff, Transitional Work Developers, Managed Care
Organizations (MCOs) and employers taking part in the Transitional Work Bonus
Program (Bonus Program).
Eligible Claims: Allowed
claims with a date of injury within the current program period with a release
to return to work date with restrictions by the treating physician and the IW
has not returned to work full duty to the job of injury.
Eligible
Employer:
An
employer that has met the BWC Employer Services eligibility criteria for participation
in the Bonus Program, as outlined in OAC 4123-17-55.
Non-Eligible
Claims:
Non-eligible claims for the Bonus Program are claims not in an allowed status,
not returned to work, or returned to work full duty (note: claims in which
there are restrictions but the IW returned to work full duty to the job of
injury are considered a full duty return to work).
Program Period: The policy
year an employer participates in the Transitional Work Bonus program.
Successful
Claims:
Claims in which the employer offers transitional work duties/ modified duty to
the injured worker, the injured worker accepts the transitional work
duties/modified duty tasks, and the injured worker actually returns to work
modified duty.
Transitional
Work (TW):
Pursuant
to OAC 4123-6-01, a work-site
program that provides an individualized interim step in the recovery of an
injured worker with job restrictions resulting from the allowed conditions in a
claim. Developed in conjunction with the employer and the injured worker, or
with others as needed, including, but not limited to the collective bargaining
agent (where applicable), the physician of record, rehabilitation
professionals, and the managed care organization, a transitional work program
assists the injured worker in progressively performing the duties of a targeted
job.
Transitional
Work Plan (TW Plan): A plan with the following components: corporate
analysis, employer-employee relations, policies and procedures, job analysis
and program evaluation.
Transitional
Work Bonus Program (Bonus Program): Employers with a TW plan may
receive a financial incentive from BWC for using their TW plan to return
injured workers back to work. This incentive is provided to qualified employers
who return an injured worker to work quickly and safely after an injury through
utilization of the employer’s TW plan.
1. It is the policy of
BWC to provide employers who meet the criteria set forth by BWC with a
financial bonus for providing transitional work opportunities to injured
workers (IWs).
2. Eligibility
criteria are detailed in BWC’s Employer Services Transitional
Work Bonus
policy.
1. Employers
interested in the Bonus Program must make application to BWC.
a. Employers may
utilize BWC’s online
application,
or submit an Application for
the Transitional Work Bonus Program (TWB-1).
b. Employers must
submit the application by the application deadline date and supporting
documentation within 30 days of the application deadline for inclusion in the
current program period.
c. Employers
failing to timely submit documentation will be denied participation in the
program for the current bonus payment period. The application will be evaluated
for the next bonus period.

Look-Up shell on BWCWeb.
a. The created TW
Plan Look-Up notes the following:
i.
Policy
#: Employer policy number;

from a company officer stating the employer has a transitional work plan or is
in the process of developing a BWC Transitional Work Grant plan.
2. An employer
approved to participate in the Bonus Program is not required to submit TW plan documentation
with subsequent program period applications if there has been no lapse in Bonus
Program participation, and the employer continues to meet BWC eligibility
criteria.
3. The TMS may
contact the employer by e-mail, letter, or phone following review of submitted
documentation to offer BWC consultation services. Consultation services include,
but are not limited to:

b. Save relevant e-mails
and documents received and sent out by the TW Unit into UDS;
c. Monitor
employer application status using the TW Plan Look-Up on BWCWeb.
i.
If
an assigned employer’s Bonus application is in “Received” status and is missing
supporting documentation (is in “Expected” plan status), the TW Unit may contact
the employer and request that the employer submit the missing documentation
prior to BWC Employer Services’ cutoff date for inclusion in the current program
period.
ii. If supporting
documentation is:
a) Submitted
timely, the TW Unit will update:
i)
The
TW Plan Status from “Expected” to “Approved;” and

screening for the assigned program period, the application status will
automatically change to “Denied.”
iii. BWC Employer
Services will notify the employer by e-mail letter of their approval or denial
to participate in the Bonus Program.
1. Employers participating
in the Bonus Program periods that began July 1, 2022, and January 1, 2023, must
submit a TWB-2, signed by the employer and the employee.
a. The TWB-2
completed online by the employer will interface with the claims management
system and update the Begin Date and Signature Date in the Profiles screen of
the IW’s claim.
b. TWB-2 forms
printed and electronically sent to the employer’s MCO or to BWC will be imaged
and indexed into the IW’s claim as a TWB-2.
i.
The
imaged TWB-2 will generate a TWB-2 Document Received work item to the Claims
Services Specialist (CSS).
ii. The CSS will:
a) Review the
TWB-2 form information; and
b) Verify the RTW
date and status (modified duty) on the TWB-2 form using the MEDCO-14 and claim
notes.
c) In the claim
management system, enter the injured worker’s claim and go to Claim Details
then to Profiles for Transitional work to complete the profile statements using
the information on the TWB-2 form.
d) Go to question
9. “Has the employer made a Transitional Work Program Offer to the claimant?”
and click “yes.”
e) Question 9.1
“How were you notified of the transitional work (TW) offer? Select TWB2 Task from
the drop-down.
f) The TWB2 Task
allows for drop down of questions 9.11 through 9.14 for the CSS to complete.
c.
If
any information on the TWB-2 is missing, the CSS may either:
i.
Contact
the employer for the missing information; or
ii. Review the
claim notes and MEDCO-14 to obtain and verify the missing information.
d. The CSS will then:
i.
Update
profile statement 9.13 “Has TW participation been confirmed” to “BWC Confirmed”
from the Method of Confirmation drop-down; and
ii. Document the
TWB-2 update in claim notes.
2.
The
TWB-2 is not required effective with the July 1, 2023, bonus period for private
employers, and January 1, 2024, for public employers.
a.
For bonus
periods in which the TWB-2 is no longer required there are different Profiles
in the claims management system.
b.
Effective
with the July 1, 2023, bonus period, a weekly Transitional Work Bonus Report listing
the participating employers with claims with actual RTW modified duty will be
sent to the field weekly and distributed to the assigned CSS/MCS.
c.
The
CSS will review the MEDCO-14 for a release to RTW date and restrictions from
the physician.
d.
The
CSS/MCS will enter the IW claim in claim management system and verify:
i.
Disability
Tracker for:
a) Disability
Type,
b)
Start
Date and
c)
Medical
Status
ii.
Other
Claims Dates for:
a) Release Type,
and

iii. Claim Notes
(MCO) for:
a) Actual RTW date,
and
b) Status, either
modified or full duty.
e.
If
documentation indicates RTW with restrictions but able to work full duty job, the
CSS/MCS goes to Claims Details and to Profiles in claim management system and completes
the transitional work profile statements:
i.
Question
9, “Has the employer made a Transitional Work (TW) Program Offer to the
claimant?” and click “yes”.
ii. Question 9.1
How were you notified of the Transitional Work (TW) offer? The CSS
then selects TW Bonus Report from the drop-down.
iii. The CSS will
then update profile statements 9.1.1. through 9.1.4.4.
3. Third Profile Statement - In the event
there is more than one episode of RTW in which the injured worker is off work
and RTW modified duty, a new TWB-2 form may be submitted, or the claim may
appear again on the Transitional Work Bonus Report. The CSS may enter the episode
in the third Profile Statement.
4.
TW
Unit Responsibilities
a. TW Unit staff will
utilize the 62-Transitional Work Bonus Report and Transitional Work Bonus
Report, systematic-generated COGNOS reports which is sent to the TW Unit
weekly and contains all TW Bonus data for all active program periods.
i.
This
report is used to monitor the:
a) Submission of
TWB-2s submitted by employers;
b) Input of TWB-2
data by the CSS in the claim; and
c) Input of both
sets of CS Profile Statements
ii. If, upon review
of the report, TW Unit staff finds that elements of the Profiles screen are
incomplete, TW Unit staff will contact the claim owner to remind them to
complete the Profiles for transitional work in the claims management system.
iii. If a TWB-2 is
required and not imaged in a claim, TW Unit staff will contact the employer by
e-mail or telephone to discuss the Bonus Program requirements and completion
and submission of the TWB-2 form.
b. The TW Unit manager
will only enter the return-to-work data or TWB-2 form information into the
Profiles screen of the claims management system in emergent situations. For example,
when the snapshot report is scheduled to run by BWC Rates and Payments (R&P)
for the program period and the data is not entered, the employer will not
receive appropriate credit for a successful claim and an incorrect bonus
calculation will be factored, affecting the employer’s bonus rebate.
1. After the
snapshot date for each bonus period, R&P will send the TW Unit the TWB
Determination Report that contains policies that are eligible for bonus
reimbursement.
2. The TW Unit Management
Analyst will use R&P’s report of eligible policies to create the TW Unit’s TWB
Determination Report, which identifies eligible and successful claims, by
policy, in order to:
a. Look for
duplicate claims. When there are two rows for the same claim number, one
full-duty and one restricted duty, remove the full-duty line from the report;
b. Filter out
non-eligible claims; and
c. Divide the
report among TW Unit staff for auditing.
3. Prior to all
final bonus determinations, TW Unit staff will ensure final TW bonus
calculations are correct by auditing all eligible and successful claims that
will be used to calculate an employer’s TW bonus. TW Unit staff will utilize
the following resources in their audit:
a. The claims
management system;
b. OnBase; and
c. The TWB
Determination Report.
4. To perform
claim audits when a TWB-2 form is utilized (July 1, 2022, and Jan. 1, 2023,
bonus periods), TW Unit staff will:
a. Open the TWB
Determination Report for the time period being verified;
b. Filter the columns
to generate scenarios to audit.
i.
TW
Unit staff will audit every claim that falls under one of the following
scenarios:
a) When Actual RTW
Type is “Full Duty” (FD) and a TWB-2 or equivalent is imaged is “yes,” determine
if the Full Duty is in error and should be “ARTW - Modified Duty.”
b) When Actual
Type is “Restricted Duty” (RD) or “ARTW – Modified Duty” (MD) and TWB-2 is “No,”
determine if a TWB-2 is imaged or was indexed incorrectly.
ii. TW Unit staff
are not required to audit claims that fall under the following scenarios:
a) Actual type is “ARTW
Full Duty,” (FD) and TWB-2 is “no”
b) Actual type is “ARTW
Modified Duty,” or “Restricted Duty” (RD) and TWB-2 is “yes”
c. When a claim
requires further research, TW Unit staff will:
i.
Open
the claim in the claims management system and:
a) Verify ARTW
full duty and modified duty episodes by looking in Disability Tracking;
b) Verify release
to return to work and release to return to work date by looking in Claim
Details > Claim Dates, Other Dates-Date Types.
c) Confirm whether
an offer was made and accepted, and the signature dates by looking in Claim
Details > Transitional work Profiles; and
d) Review claims
notes for additional clarification.
ii. Look at the:
e) TWB-2, or
equivalent, and verify that it is complete and that the IW and employer signed
the form; and
f) MEDCO-14 to
verify that the IW was released back to work with restrictions.
5. To perform
claim audits when a TWB-2 is not utilized beginning July 1, 2023, for private
employers and Jan.1, 2024, for public employers. The TW Unit staff will:
a. Open the TWB
Determination Report for the time period being verified;
b. Filter the
columns for Working and ARTW-Modified Duty
i.
In
the claims management system, go to:
a) Disability
Tracking to verify:
i)
Disability
Type: Working;
ii) Start date; and
iii) Medical Status:
ARTW-Modified Duty.
b) Claims Details>
Details> Claim Dates> Other Dates to verify:
i)
Date
Type: Release to RTW -Modified Duty; and
ii) Effective Date.
c) Claim notes to
verify:
i)
Actual
RTW date, working Modified Duty;
ii) If a claim note
indicates the IW is able to perform their job full duty despite restrictions,
it is a RTW – Full Duty.
ii. Use the
MEDCO-14 to verify:
a) Date of release
to RTW by physician; and
b) Documented
restrictions in job of injury.
6. If, based on
the audit findings, the scores on the TWB Determination Report require
change, TW Unit staff will:
a. Change the
score from “0” to “1” or “1” to “0” in the “Eligible” and/or “Successful”
columns;
b. Document the information
used to support the change in the “Comments” column; and
c. Highlight the
row to indicate that a change was made, and the claim requires additional
review by the TW Unit manager.
7. If a claim
eligibility or success cannot be determined using claims documents, TW Unit
staff will:
a. Highlight the
row to indicate to the TW Unit manager that the claim requires additional
review; and
b. Document the
issue in the “Comments” column.
8. Upon completion
of all assigned audits, TW Unit staff will save their section of the report in
SharePoint: TW Grants>TW Bonus Program>Audits to the appropriate folder
for the program period being audited; and
9. The TW Unit
manager will then review all claims in the report that are highlighted. The TW
Unit manager will:
a. Document all
findings of their review. Findings may include:
i.
Whether
the TW Unit manager agrees or disagrees with the change(s) made by the original
TW Unit staff auditor; and
ii. Whether the
manager made any new changes as a result.
b. Initial each
claim the manager reviews.
c. Upon completion
of their review, the TW Unit manager will notify the TW Unit Management Analyst
that the reports are ready to compile.
10. The Management Analyst
will then:
a. Compile all
audited claims into a final report, which will automatically calculate the
percentage of bonus for each policy;
b. Save a copy of
the newly compiled report; and
c. Send the report
to BWC R&P to apply the financial.
d. BWC R&P
will return the report with the final bonus percentage and rebate for each
eligible policy.
1. The TW Unit
Management Analyst will provide to each MCO a report containing their assigned
employers who are participating in the Bonus Program at specific times during
the program period:
a. TWB Eligibility
Report:
Provided at the start of each program period;
b. Claims
Participation Report:
Provided weekly; and

employers participating in the Bonus Program to obtain a completed TWB-2
if applicable;
and
b. Verify data
entry accuracy for each claim on the 62- Transitional Work Bonus Report posted
weekly on the MCO portal by the TW Unit until the snapshot date, and, if
necessary:
i.
Provide
missing information to the TW Unit; and
ii. Clarify any
