You Snooze, You Lose

DWC released the 2024 insurance carrier PBO results and 1/3 passed the test with flying colors! The DWC evaluated 130 carriers and placed them into a high, average, or poor regulatory tier based on the following categories:

Timely payment of initial temporary income benefits (TIBs).
Timely reporting of initial payment data to DWC by electronic data interchange (EDI). (This measure was not factored into the tier placement.)
Timely processing of initial medical bills.
Timely processing of requests for reconsideration of medical bills.
Timely reporting of medical data to DWC by EDI.

High tier performers are generally exempted from DWC Compliance & Investigations Audits, while average performers are included if selection criteria are met, and poor performers are included regardless of whether selection criteria are met. A carrier’s PBO tier rating is also one of the factors that DWC is required to consider when imposing sanctions on any carrier that commits an administrative violation.
