Who can send information using EDI technology?
Any approved trading partner may send electronic data to and receive electronic data from Workers’ Compensation. A trading partner is a business who has formally entered into a written agreement with the Alaska Workers’ Compensation Division to electronically transmit data required to be submitted to the State under the Alaska Workers’ Compensation Act. These businesses are typically an Insurance Carrier (Insurer), State approved Self-Insured Employer, an Independent Claims Adjusting Company, or other Third Party Vendor. How does a company start submitting information using EDI technology? An insurer or claims administrator can elect to electronically submit data directly to Workers’ Compensation, or use the services of an approved third party vendor. Companies interested in submitting data electronically need to review the material below. A completed partnership agreement will be required before a company is authorized to be an approved trading partner.
