OWCP Paperless Correspondence Option

Effective April 20, 2024, providers can select an option to receive outbound OWCP medical bill processing correspondence electronically only. Electronic copies can be accessed on the secure WCMBP Portal (https://owcpmed.dol.gov/portal/).

The paperless option includes correspondence such as Remittance Vouchers (RV), Authorization Approval Letters, and Billing Returned To Provider (RTP) Letters.

Providers can select the paperless option in the Add Location step of a provider enrollment application or the Provider Maintenance page by selecting the “opt in” checkbox. A contact email address will be required, as providers will receive an email notification notifying that correspondence is available on the WCMBP Portal

Provider Enrollment and IRS correspondence will continue to be mailed in addition to being available electronically on the portal. This includes 1099s, Provider Enrollment Welcome Packets, and Provider Enrollment RTPs.
