Form OWCP-1168 Provider Enrollment Form

Dear Provider:
Thank you for your interest in participating as a provider of medical services for
programs administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP). The OWCP administers the Federal
Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA), the Black Lung Benefits Act (BLBA), and
the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act
(EEOICPA).
OWCP has contracted with Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) to provide
medical bill processing services to those three programs. As part of their benefit
structure, these programs reimburse medical and non-medical providers for
services rendered for the care and treatment of a claimant’s compensable
condition.
To process your bills, each provider must be enrolled with ACS. Please
complete the enclosed provider enrollment form so that a provider identification
number can be assigned to you. Instructions for completing the enrollment form
and a list of provider types and specialty codes are also included.
The Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 includes the requirement that
payments made by the Federal Government be sent by electronic funds transfer
(EFT). EFT payments are mandatory, simplify and speed the billing process and
reduce the incidence of billing errors. Therefore, an enrollment form for EFT is
enclosed. A remittance advice listing all bills paid on each EFT transaction will be
sent to your mailing address.
You must submit current licensure information on the completed
enrollment application. Moreover you must maintain appropriate current
licensure in order to receive payments under our programs. Where large
group practices have providers in the group who are not providing medical
services to our program on a regular basis, the group practice is
responsible for monitoring the licensure of their entire group.
You may register as a participant in any or all three of OWCP’s compensation
programs. Please be sure to send the completed package(s) to the appropriate
program(s) at the address (es) listed on P. 2 of the Form OWCP-1168.
Please be aware that OWCP, in an effort to assist claimants seeking medical
services, is now providing an on-line search capability by one or more of the
following: specialty, name, city, state, and zip code. The provider look up
feature is meant as a customer service feature for those who may be seeking
certain medical services in their area. The FECA program provides search
capability for physicians enrolled in their program. In addition to physicians, the
EEOICPA program is providing a search capability for home health aides and

hospice care. FBLP will include all provider types for the provider lookup with the exception of provider type 53, non-medical vendors from
the search. Please advise us in writing when you submit your enrollment
application if for some reason you do not wish to be included in this service.
Customers using this look-up feature will be advised that this is not an
endorsement, referral or an agreement to reimburse for medical services
rendered, as the fact that a provider is listed in no way constitutes an
endorsement of the provider or that provider's services by the Department of
Labor and OWCP. Nor does it guarantee that the medical provider will be
reimbursed by OWCP for specific medical services that the provider has billed
directly to OWCP or that a medical provider will agree to provide medical
services to a particular claimant. The appearance of a specific medical
provider’s name in the listing of providers in a certain specialty does not require
that provider to treat a particular claimant, even if OWCP has already advised the
claimant in writing that medical treatment for a particular condition within the
provider’s listed specialty has been authorized.
You will be notified by mail once your enrollment package has been processed.
Once you have received your ACS provider number, you may submit your bills to
the appropriate program at the following address:

NOTICE: Please be aware that continued participation as a medical provider
under the three DOL programs above is contingent on your maintaining
good standing as a medical provider under other federal health benefit
programs such as Medicare—exclusion as a medical provider in those
circumstances operates as an automatic exclusion under the above- entitled
programs administered by OWCP. (See e.g. 20 C.F.R. §§ 10.815,
