Information For New Hires
Welcome to Ohio University!
In 1993 the Ohio Legislature passed House Bill 107 which changed how Ohio
workers compensation injuries were treated for state employees. House Bill
107 established procedures for delivery of medical services to injured
employees under the Health Partnership Program (HPP). Effective March 1,
1997, medical services must be managed by an Ohio Bureau of Workers'
Compensation certified Managed Care Organization.
CareWorks is the managed care administrator for Ohio University. Below is a
copy of the CareWorks identification card and should be carried with you at
all times. In the event a work-related injury should occur, follow the steps
that are listed on the card.
Should you have questions concerning workers' compensation or this
procedure, please feel free to contact Marilyn McVey, 597-1994. Her
office is located in the Human Resource Training Center, 121A. You may also
contact CareWorks direct at 1-888-627-7586. Also for more information see BWC Information.
