ICDs for claim conditions |
BWC and self-insuring employers rely on provider diagnoses to determine what conditions to allow in industrial claims. They need specific diagnoses, including site and location, to understand the severity and nature of an injury. The conditions reported on our First Report of Injury (FROI) should include the cause of the injured worker's symptoms and not just the symptoms themselves. We cannot allow claims with only symptom codes. With the implementation of ICD-10, selecting codes to report in claims has become more difficult. So, we've developed documents to provide guidance for reporting injuries and requesting additional conditions.
