A transitional work developer also shall be BWC-certified in our medical management program as one of the above provider types. So, the first step to becoming BWC-certified is to complete the Application for Provider Enrollment and Certification (MEDCO-13). This application requires a workers' compensation policy and professional liability insurance if applicable. New transitional work developer applicants must demonstrate they have transitional work experience or verified mentoring experience with an accredited transitional work developer. They also must successfully complete BWC's orientation session. Once the accreditation process is complete, we'll include your name on the BWC-accredited developer list. This accredited transitional work developers list will be available to employers, managed care organization, third-party administrators and available here online. The list includes developer names, counties, business email addresses and phone numbers. Developer reaccreditation
BWC transitional work developer accreditation expires two years from the date BWC issues the accreditation number. A developer certificate clearly illustrates the issuance date. A lapse in a developer's accreditation will prevent an employer from receiving reimbursement for a transitional work plan. BWC offers a two-hour, computer-based webinar class developers may attend from their home or office.
Note: Transitional work developers accredited during the 2001 to 2006 program must complete a new application and attend a re-accreditation webinar.
