BWC Regulation Changes
MCO Appeals
There is now only one appeal step at the MCO level, not two, as in the
past.
Vocational Rehabilitation
A new rule dealing with vocational rehabilitation, O.A.C. 4123- 18-03,
is being adopted. Eligibility for vocational rehabilitation is being
changed. It will no longer be required that an injured worker have a
25% permanent partial disability. It will be enough that the injured
worker has job restrictions documented by the physician of record.
