New OWCP Limitation of Procedure Code by Authorization Type
Effective August 9, 2025, the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) will limit the procedure codes that can be submitted on an authorization request, based on the authorization type.
This change is applicable to both the Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) and Division of Federal Employees' Compensation (DFEC).
Providers submitting authorizations requests through the Workers’ Compensation Medical Bill Processing (WCMBP) portal will now receive an error message if the requested procedure code is not applicable for the selected authorization type. The error message will guide the provider by indicating the correct authorization type required for the procedure code.
Providers submitting authorization requests by mail or fax will receive a Returned to Provider (RTP) letter if the requested procedure code is not applicable for the authorization type. The RTP letter will include the reason for return and specify the correct authorization type required for the submitted procedure code.
