A Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) covered employee must first complete Form EE-17A, Claim for Home Health Care, Nursing Home, or Assisted Living Benefits, identifying his/her treating physician.

The EE-17B form must be completed by the treating physician that is responsible for providing care related to the covered employee’s accepted work-related condition(s). This form is recommended for use with initial authorization and reauthorization requests.

The Division of Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation (DEEOIC) does not accept payments made by mail. All providers must submit an adjustment (corrected bill) or a point-of-sale reversal to ensure that the overpayment created is properly reflected as an account receivable by DEEOIC. Once the account receivable is established, providers will receive a debt letter and instructions on how to service the account receivable from the Treasury’s Centralized Receivables Service (CRS). CRS helps federal agencies collect money that individuals, businesses, and states owe the agency (accounts receivable). CRS focuses on collecting money when it is first due or only slightly overdue before the account is considered delinquent. Once a debt is delinquent (Over 120 days), the account will transfer to U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Cross-Servicing program for additional collection activity.

PROCESS FOR SUBMITTING A CORRECTED CLAIM

Medical providers can submit a corrected claim by accessing the Workers’ Compensation Medical Bill Processing (WCMBP) website at: https://owcpmed.dol.gov/portal/resources/forms-and-references/general. The Bill Adjustment Request Form should be downloaded, completed, and mailed with the corrected claim and any supporting documentation to:

U.S. Department of Labor OWCP/DEEOIC
P.O. Box 8304
London, KY 40742-8304

Medical providers can log into the WCMBP System and submit an adjustment/corrected claim through the online portal.

1. Access website at: https://owcpmed.dol.gov/portal/provider/provider-login
2. Select bill adjustment/void link under “Bills”
3. Locate the Transaction Control Number (TCN) to adjust
4. Make necessary corrections
5. Add attachments, if applicable and submit

Pharmacy providers can submit reversals in their point-of-sale system if a claimant fails to pick up their medication.
