OWCP Claims Status Decoder
Staring at a confusing OWCP status code? Enter your code below for a plain-language explanation of what it means, what action to take, and what deadlines or warnings apply to your FECA claim.
1 result for "MC"
What it means
You are authorized for medical treatment only. This pay status code is used in combination with an acceptance adjudication code (e.g., AM-MC or AP-MC).
What to do next
Submit medical bills for your accepted condition to OWCP for payment. Use Form OWCP-1500 (medical providers) or submit via the OWCP Medical Bill Processing system.
Important notes
This status does not authorize wage-loss compensation payments. If you experience wage loss, you must file CA-7 separately.
Understanding OWCP Status Code Structure
OWCP claim status is displayed as a combination of two two-character codes — an adjudication code and a pay status code. For example: AP-PR means "Accepted, Periodic Roll."
- Adjudication codes (A_, D_) — indicate whether the case is accepted or denied
- Pay status codes (MC, PR, DR, PS, etc.) — indicate the type of payment authorized
- Closure codes (C1–C5, CL, RT) — indicate the case is closed
Your full claim status can be found by logging into ECOMP and viewing your case details, or on written correspondence from OWCP.
