This $166M contract for delivering a Workers Compensation Medical Bill Process (WCMBP) system will include the processes associated with OWCP and its constituent programs for the receipt of the medical bills and attachments, review of medical bills and attachments against program-specific authorizations, handling of inquiries related to medical services from claimants and providers, and fraud and abuse detection, while adjudicating medical bills utilizing business rules established by each OWCP program.
