The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) and its Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) are making commendable efforts to keep the state’s workers’ comp community informed and engaged:
The DLI and BWC’s efforts are refreshing, particularly compared to the lackadaisical approach of some other state workers’ comp agencies.
See the conference and newsletter details below!
The DLI’s 24th Annual Workers’ Compensation Conference will take place at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center on May 29 and 30, 2025.
Providers and other workers’ comp professionals can register here. Conference agenda topics so far include:

The BWC’s “News & Notes” publication is a substantive, robust, detailed collection of updates and resources the agency issues seasonally. Providers can subscribe to this newsletter at this web page by clicking the button shown in the screenshot below.
The Winter 24-25 edition is 22 pages of generally helpful information for stakeholders, including details about the 2025 Annual Workers’ Compensation Conference conference.
Of particular value, the Winter edition announces that the Healthcare Services Review Division (HCSRD) is offering one-on-one provider training on medical fee review, a dispute resolution process providers may use to challenge the timeliness and/or amount of reimbursement for injured worker treatment.
We applaud the DLI and BWC for taking measures to inform and empower providers and other stakeholders. Information is the best defense against the most common pitfalls of a system as fraught as workers' comp.
Save your seat for the conference today—daisyBill looks forward to seeing you there!
