May a defense attorney representing an insurance carrier or TPA pull up their clients information and update (edit) it?
No. EAMS uses a “uniform assigned names” list for claims administrators and representatives. Changes to those entities’ names or addresses must be handled through the DWC’s Central Registration Unit. Whenever filling out any form, parties must obtain and use the exact assigned name the claims administrator or representative, as shown on the central registration list. Forms submitted with information different from that listed in the Central Registration Unit will go into the unprocessed document queue with other such documents needing correction. A DWC clerk will attempt to discern the intent of the filer and either correct simple errors or return the filing to the sender, both of which will delay processing of your filings. Claims administrators, law firms, lien claimants and others will need to develop internal systems for assuring accuracy in filing.
