Effective January 10, 2025, the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) will require OWCP claimant information on all bill submissions.

Professional, institutional, and dental bills must include either the claimant’s OWCP case number or their Social Security Number (SSN) and date of birth (DOB). If FECA bills are submitted with the SSN and DOB, then the claimant’s date of injury (DOI) must be included. Click here to view the Filling Out a Claim Form tips document for more information.

If bills are received without the claimant’s OWCP case number or SSN and DOB, then the bills will be returned to the provider.

OWCP’s Case Lookup feature is available on the Workers’ Compensation Medical Bill Processing (WCMBP) portal. Refer to the following tutorial for instructions on how to use the case lookup tool: Verify Claimant Eligibility (updated 05/23/2024).

Billing instructions are available in the following resources:

Online Bill Entry (Web Portal Direct Data Entry): Refer to the Enter Bills Online tutorial.

Mail (paper form): Refer to the billing instructions for each claim form by visiting the OWCP Forms and References page, selecting the OWCP Program (DCMWC, DEEOIC, or DFEC), and then selecting the OWCP-1500, OWCP-04, or ADA Dental forms.

EDI (HIPAA 837s): Refer to the updated 837 Companion Guide.
