Missouri Claim Rules That Apply in Independence
Missouri state claims run through the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC). In Missouri, the employer or its insurer generally has the right to direct medical care, so we coordinate authorization before treatment and document under DWC standards. Federal employees filing under FECA keep the statutory right to choose their own treating physician.
