Effective August 24, 2024, the Office of Workers’ Compensation (OWCP) Division will enhance the Workers’ Compensation Medical Bill Processing (WCMBP) authorization submission page to better reflect when an authorization correction request has been approved.

Currently, if a correction request is approved, then the approved correction request is updated to Cancelled status, and the approved authorization changes are reflected in the original authorization request.

In the new process, if a correction request is approved, then the approved correction request will then change to Corrected status and the approved authorization changes will be reflected in the original authorization request.

The steps to submit an authorization correction request for OWCP review will remain the same. Refer to the Submitting an Authorization Correction quick reference guide (QRG) for more information.
