• Electronic filing of workers’ compensation claims
• New OccuNet PPO network
• Resources for Panel Development
• Pharmacy access and communication

• New reporting technology
• Reorganization of MCI Team Claim Units
• Resources on www.COVWC.com
• Customer service initiatives

All training-related activities (enrollment, cancellations, etc.) for DHRM courses are processed through the Commonwealth of Virginia Knowledge Center (CoVKC) web portal.  Search for OWC’s classes by keyword “wc”.  Workers’ Compensation – Update 2008 should display last in the list.

If you are a first-time user or have not already registered, we encourage you to do so since you must register in order to use the Knowledge Center. (Please see instructions here). If you are a registered user in the CoVKC, go directly to the CoVKC portal or you may log in to the KC through your agency's portal, if appropriate.  Please note that if your agency has its own KC portal, your agency’s administrator must first “pull in” this course for you to be able to register.  The course was announced to administrators on Monday, July 28.
