COE Application

For Practices Specializing in the Care of Injured Workers

The OM Center of Excellence (COE) Designation recognizes medical practices that consistently demonstrate the highest national standards in workers’ compensation care. This designation reflects excellence in clinical quality, administrative performance, compliance, communication, and patient outcomes.

The COE is not a membership or award, it is a formal, evidence-based designation grounded in data, documentation, and measurable results.

Applications are reviewed by the Independent COE Oversight Committee, which includes physicians, employers, adjusters, case managers, and industry experts. Practices that achieve designation will be recognized nationally as leaders in the coordinated care and management of injured workers.
