The Division made minor changes to its DWC‐26 (Request for Reimbursement of Payment
Made by Health Care Insurer) and DWC‐69 (Report of Medical Evaluation). The revisions to
2
the DWC‐26 replace the term “ICD‐9” with the term “diagnosis code,” in order to facilitate
transition from ICD‐9 coding to ICD‐10 coding for workers’ compensation medical billing,
processing, and reporting. (ICD‐9 and ICD‐10 refer to the 9th edition and the 10th edition,
respectively, of the International Classification of Diseases, Clinical Modification and
Procedure Coding System.) Regarding the DWC‐69, the Division has added instructions for
injured employees.
The finalized forms are available on the Texas Department of Insurance website and are
effective January 1, 2015.
