BWC policy allows services rendered within 72 hours of the date of injury to be reimbursed even if the billed diagnosis is not an allowed code in the claim, or is on BWC's invalid code list. The MCO is still responsible for determining that the services were related to the industrial injury.

Temporary exposures: 90-Day Rule The 90-Day Rule is applicable to all industries, including the construc- tion industry. For payroll reporting purposes, employers only pay premiums to BWC for work performed in Ohio if a temporary period exceeds 90 consecutive days. See Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 4123-17-23(C).

How long do I have to file a workers' comp claim in Ohio? As of September 29, 2017, House Bill 27 reduced the amount of time injured workers have to file a claim to one year from the date of the workplace injury or death in Ohio. For claims involving occupational disease, you have two years to file a claim.

BWC pays medical benefits and lost wages to employees who are injured or contract an occupational disease on the job. We also pay death benefits to survivors when a death results from a work-related injury or disease. Ohio law requires employers to obtain workers' compensation insurance for all employees.

Ohio workers' comp pays up to 72% of your weekly wages for the first 12 weeks, and then up to two-thirds (66 ⅔%). There is also a minimum payment of $383.00 per week and a maximum of $1,149.00 per week in 2023. Learn more about how much workers' comp pays in each state.

File a First Report of Injury (FROI) After an FROI has been filed, you can expect to receive a claim number from the BWC. Then, the BWC will evaluate your claim by talking to you, your employer, and your medical team. Within 28 days, the OBWC will inform you whether your claim has been approved or denied.
