The Web portal supports the ability of a Supervisor to create, edit and delete regions for the bill routing configuration for contract nurse bills.
From the Home page, use the following pathway:
FECA > Accept > Login > Region Management
The Region Management feature allows a bill to be routed to a specific District Office and then to one or more OWCP users who can process the bill.
Regions are comprised of one or more counties associated with a state. Every District Office is responsible for the processing of bills for a set number of states. The routing of a bill can occur by mapping the FECA case number associated with the claimant from the bill and then mapping the claimant’s zip code to a county. That county, in turn, is associated with a region.
The ability to configure regions is a responsibility of the Supervisor. Anyone with a Supervisor role is able to create, edit and delete regions for the states associated with his or her district.

Alerts users to unassigned counties
The Region Management page displays all states that are associated with the district. The districts dynamically generate based upon the login ID. For example, if your login is associated with District 1, the page dynamically generates all states associated with that district which include Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.
Upon entering this page for the first time, a default of ‘None” displays for each state. This default indicates there are currently no regions created.
A region called ‘Other’ displays at the bottom of the page and can neither be edited nor deleted. This ‘Other’ region allows bills that are assigned to the district but may have a claimant zip code that does not match any of the zip codes currently associated with any of the regions. All users able to process bills for this particular District see this bill in their Inbox.
