  5. AD Ships entries • The responsibility for entries into SHIPS for FS employees (including ADs) that are on an incident but under the supervision of a non-agency supervisor falls to the home unit. Such as an AD Program Coordinator, this person has to be an FS employee with HR Connect Dashboard access . • Supervisors named on the CA-1 should be someone familiar with and in regular contact with the employee as they would be a point of contact if the employee could not be reached. • Adding an Incident for Seasonal or Temps.docx

  6. If Ships is not accessible…. • COMP/INJR faxes and mails original injury/illness forms, supporting documentation and medical treatment records to the individual’s home unit compensation specialist within 2 days of receipt of the CA-1.

  7. IBMH Direction • Federal agencies are required to submit workers’ compensation claims documents to OWCP within 10 days of the date signed by the employee. In order for home units to comply, the COMP/INJR faxes and mails original injury/illness forms, supporting documentation and medical treatment records to the individual’s home unit compensation specialist within 2 days of receipt of the CA-1/CA-2.

  8. IBMH Direction Cont. • This allows the home unit to review the information, contact the incident if clarification is necessary, meet OWCP reporting requirements and ensure injured workers receive timely and quality service. A temporary copy may be retained by the Compensation/Claims Unit during the incident, but must be either sent home with the employee or destroyed prior to the end of the incident.

  9. PERSCRIPTIONS • Prescriptions – Utilize local pharmacies that accept the DOL, OWCP fee 6 schedule and bill directly. • Pharmacies/Medical providers not enrolled with 7 DOL, OWCP, Division of Federal Employees Compensation (DFEC), should 8 contact DOL, Affiliated Computer Services (ACS) https://owcp.dol.acs-inc.com. • Prescriptions on fire have been somewhat of an issue. Most pharmacies need a case number (issued from OWCP) in order to fill the prescription. The case number can take several weeks to generate from OWCP. • The employee may need to pay for the prescription out of pocket and get reimbursed using an OWCP-915 form.
