Ohio gives you a year. Texas gives you 95 days. Colorado gives you 120. Most states do not publish a voc-rehab filing clock at all, and this tool says so rather than inventing one — because a made-up deadline is worse than no deadline.
Only does anything where the state publishes a clock. Leave it blank to read the rule alone.
Rules current as of July 2026 and drawn from each agency’s own published material — verify with the agency named above before you rely on a date. Where a clock is published we say what the rule says; confirm what starts it, because some run from the date of service and others from something else. Nothing you enter here leaves your browser.
Three of these are your clock — the day the bill stops being payable. Two are the payer’s clock — the day they owe you interest or an answer. They are opposite obligations and they are listed apart on purpose.
| State | Your filing clock | The payer’s payment clock | Where the bill goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Colorado | 120-day filing | — | Rule 16 e-billing mandate live January 2026 — both directions |
| Georgia | not published in our research | 30-day payment | Direct to the payer |
| Minnesota | not published in our research | 30-day payment or 4% interest | Invoice to the carrier; R-forms through Work Comp Campus |
| Ohio | One year to file (BWC timely filing) | — | Fax to the MCO. Keep the confirmation — it is your timely-filing proof. |
| Texas | 95-day timely filing | — | E-billing both directions since 2008 |
Current as of July 2026 — verify with each state’s agency (linked from its state page). The other forty-six jurisdictions are in the lookup above with their agency and channel; they simply have no filing clock we were able to verify.
Workers’-comp filing clocks are scattered: some sit in a statute, some in a medical-billing rule that was written for hospitals, some in the payer’s own provider agreement, and some nowhere at all until a carrier tells you after the fact. Our July 2026 sweep read the agencies’ own material and verified five. Publishing the other forty-six as guesses would look more complete and be worth less than nothing.
So the honest version: the lookup gives you the agency, the channel and the state page for every jurisdiction, and a deadline only where a deadline was verified. If you know your state’s rule and we do not have it, tell us — admin@onservice.us or 1-877-843-1717 — and we will chase the citation and publish it with your state’s name on the source, not yours.
Because our July 2026 verification sweep only established a filing clock for Ohio, Texas and Colorado. The rest live in medical-billing rules written for hospitals, in case law, or in the payer's own provider agreement. We publish what we can cite and mark the rest honestly — a wrong deadline on this page could cost someone a bill they can never recover.
The filing clock is yours: file after it and the bill is dead. The payment clock is the payer's: Minnesota's carriers owe 4% interest past 30 days, and Georgia's payment clock is 30 days too. One is a deadline you can miss; the other is interest they owe you.
No. The lookup is JavaScript and the whole state table is already in the page. Nothing is submitted, and there is no server behind it.
The dated confirmation, filed with the bill it belongs to. In Ohio that is the fax confirmation page from the MCO submission, kept for the year BWC allows. Med Claims Pro writes it into the claimant's folder as a PDF when the fax goes through, next to the CMS-1500 — how sending with proof works.
Tell us and we will publish it with the agency citation: admin@onservice.us or 1-877-843-1717. We would rather add a rule with a source behind it than have this page keep saying "not published" about a state where it is.
