Minor Accident - Concerns and Cost

A work van ran into me this afternoon when I was waiting at a stop sign. Here's a picture of the damage:

This is a close up of the gouge in my bumper cover:

What should I be looking for in terms of hidden damage? Is there energy-absorbing material behind the bumper cover that needs to be replaced? Should I take a close look at the bumper supports?

The person who hit me has Nationwide Insurance. I filed a claim with them, and they seemed courteous. Has anyone had a problem with them?

Any ideas about what this may cost and how long the repair will require? The weather has been perfect for top-down driving and I don't want too much down time.

Thanks
