BWC announces $56.6 million in savings through the SID
BWC’s Special Investigations Department (SID) released its Fiscal Year 2016 Annual Report highlighting its efforts to deter, detect, investigate and prosecute workers' compensation fraud. They announced the SID identified $56.6 million in savings for the State Insurance Fund over the past year due to workers’ compensation fraud committed by claimants, employers and medical providers. Recovered funds will go back to the State Insurance Fund to care for workers injured in Ohio. The report includes an overview of the statistics and SID’s strategies for preventing and detecting fraud. However, enforcement is not the only method SID uses to raise awareness of workers’ compensation fraud. The SID also promotes its work by means of articles in periodicals, presentations and social media. People may stay up to date on the latest from SID by following the BWC Blog, liking our Facebook page and following the SID on Twitter. The SID reminds concerned supporters to report suspected workers’ compensation fraud by calling 1-800-644-6292 or visiting bwc.ohio.gov

BWC plans system changes in November
To modernize operations and improve customer service, BWC will replace its core claims and policy management systems this November. The transition to this new system will occur over Veterans’ Day weekend, Nov. 10 – 14. Beginning the afternoon of Nov. 10, many BWC systems, including web and phone services, will be unavailable. In addition, some employer-related systems will have limited functionality beginning at 5 p.m. Nov. 9. The BWC expects to resume normal operations on Tuesday, Nov. 15. Specific information on outages will be forthcoming as the transition date approaches. In the meantime, the BWC encourages customers to review deadlines and complete any time-sensitive transactions in advance of the transition. For information throughout the transition, make sure to follow the BWC on Twitter @OhioBWC. The goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible for customers. This includes ensuring the transition does not disrupt compensation for injured workers. Steps the BWC has taken to minimize disruption include thorough system testing, extensive employee training and practice, and timing the transition with a three-day holiday weekend.
