BWC's website has general information, forms, and publications that are useful to injured workers, and also provides many functions that let you see current information about your claim on-line. For many claim status questions, this may be more efficient than calling your Claims Service Specialist.

The MCOs oversee medical care on workers' compensation claims. Your employer has selected a specific one to work with, which will be listed on the BWC Identification Card you received in the mail. (If you have misplaced the card, you can look up the MCO on the BWC website on the Injured Workers page, or call the BWC Contact Center.) Each MCO has their own website, listed on the MCO Contact Information page.
