ATTENTION OHIO CHIROPRACTORS – CHIROPRACTIC, MERCY GUIDELINES, ODG, and the Ohio Workers’ Compensation

The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation may no longer relying on the Mercy Guidelines for Chiropractors. Instead, the OhioBWC is now relying on the ODG (Official Disability Guidelines) in the rule. Although the BWC rule currently does not list any specific guidelines, its policy rule indicates that reliance is now on the ODG. Although it may not specifically state that Mercy Guidelines cannot be used, it will be good practice to cite ODG in any request for treatment authorization.
