Quarterly workshops
We invite all self-insuring employers and their authorized representatives to another round of workshops. These workshops will focus on relationships and interactions between medical providers and self-insured employers for the best interests of injured workers.

ICD-10 update
On Oct. 1, BWC, along with the rest of the nation, implemented the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). This means Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant providers do not need to make special accommodations for their patients with a workers’ compensation claim resulting in uninterrupted services for your employees. Visit our ICD-10 implementation page for more details.

2017 assessments update
BWC evaluates the self-insured assessment rates annually to make sure there is a minimum balance, and to guarantee payments of claims against the various funds. We have listed the 2017 rates on our assessments page.

As a reminder, you can pay your assessments in several ways. Your options include:

1. Online with a credit card or bank routing number;
2. Mailing a check with your invoice (using regular mail) – send to the P.O. box listed on the invoice;
3. Using overnight mail to send a check with your invoice? Send it to the address below.
