CONFIGURED FOR DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DURING ONBOARDING

District of Columbia vocational rehab billing —
§32-1507, and the fund behind it.

D.C. Code §32-1507 puts the duty on the employer to furnish vocational rehabilitation, DOES administers the system, and a special fund stands behind the cases where nobody else will pay. Most practitioners here also carry Maryland and Virginia files, which is three sets of rules in one week.

The system. The employer must furnish vocational rehabilitation; DOES administers, with special-fund backup.

Your week

Your week, in the District’s documents.

A compact jurisdiction whose practitioners rarely work only one jurisdiction.

  • 8:15 a.m.
    DC file: vocational assessment interview.The rules that apply are a property of the claim, not of your morning.
  • 10:40 a.m.
    Maryland file next, then a Virginia CMS-1500 to finish.Three jurisdictions, three sets of payer expectations, one grid underneath.
  • 1:30 p.m.
    Employer contacts and a progress note.Written once, reused in the report, not retyped into it.
  • 4:25 p.m.
    Invoices out to three payers in three jurisdictions.Three receivables, three aging clocks, one list on Tuesday morning.
The daily activity grid: coded, timed entries at 0.1-unit precision with notes, rates and claim numbers.
The grid an Ohio caseload produces — codes at $81.90 and $91.00, 0.1-unit entries, notes in her own bracket style. In District of Columbia the codes, the rates and the form change; the row does not.

Every one of those rows is typed once, as it happens. The daily log writes itself as you go, the weekly narrative log builds in your own Word template, the claim form or invoice fills with the right units and the right payer block, and the receivable exists the moment the bill leaves. The whole chain →

Three jurisdictions, one week

Practising in the District usually means practising in Maryland and Virginia too.

A DC caseload rarely stays in DC. Maryland registers rehabilitation practitioners on Form VR08 and files through CompHub; Virginia certifies CRPs and bills carriers on a CMS-1500; the District puts the duty on the employer under §32-1507 with DOES administering and a special fund behind it.

Three sets of forms, three sets of payer habits, one professional. The rules belong to the claim rather than to the practice, which is exactly how the software treats them: pick the claimant and the jurisdiction’s configuration comes with them.

One check, many claimants. Whichever of these names is on the envelope, the check covers a dozen files at once. You record it once, tick the bills it pays, and anything short is flagged with the exact gap and the original form attached, ready to rebill. How that screen works.

Payer fax numbers and billing addresses go stale faster than any page can keep up, so we publish them only where we keep them current — today that is Ohio’s nine MCOs. Your District of Columbia payers, their submission addresses and their quirks get set up during onboarding, from your own files.

Questions, answered.

I work DC, Maryland and Virginia files. Does that work in one system?

Yes. The jurisdiction belongs to the claim, so its forms, payers and rates come with the file. Extra state packs are $49 a month on Professional; Practice includes them all. Pricing.

Is there a published rate for DC vocational work?

Not one we have verified, so this page prints no rate. Ask the Department of Employment Services.

What does the special fund change about billing?

It changes who pays, which the software treats as a property of the file rather than something you remember at invoice time — separate receivable, separate aging clock.

Do you file anything with DOES?

No. Agency filings are yours; the software builds the bill, the documentation and the receivable and files proof of what you sent.

Where does my data live?

On your computer, in your own folders. Cancelling makes it read-only, never deleted.
