Your OhioBWC Claim is Labelled Medically Inactive – Your medical bills are not being paid – Your medical care is in limbo – What can you do now?
Pursuant to The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (www.ohiobwc.com), workers’ compensation claims become medically inactive after 14 months goes by without having the OhioBWC pay for claim related Medical Treatments, Prescription Medication, or Diagnostic Testing.
Don’t let that happen to you. If your claim is denied for medical treatment, you have the right to appeal the denial of treatment. Because there are time limits within which to appeal, you should do so immediately. Contact your lawyer and let him/her know what is going on in your claim. Take immediate action.
If you don’t have a workers’ compensation lawyer, call Mike Gruhin at Gruhin & Gruhin. Mike is a Board Certified Workers’ Compensation Specialist. Let Gruhin & Gruhin protect you when you get hurt on the job.
The moral of this post – if you have a workers’ compensation claim, you should see your doctor as needed, as determined by your physician, but at least once every 10-12 months. Don’t let your claim become labelled INACTIVE.
