Lawsuit
Challenging MCO Procedure Transferred
Northwest Ohio Bldg. and Construction Trades
Council v. Conrad, a case challenging the BWC MCO procedure, has
been transferred from Lucas County to Franklin County.
The case asks for declaratory judgment, as well as a
temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to stop
enforcement, implementation or application of statutes dealing with
managed care for workers' compensation. The suit claims that the MCO
procedure violates Art. II, Sec. 35 of the Ohio Constitution.
A hearing on the request for an injunction had been
scheduled for September 2, 1997. No current action is pending.
