EDI Guide Book (December 2007)

INTRODUCTION
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the computer-to-computer exchange of formatted business documents between enterprises, a system which has been rapidly expanding in the last decade. In workers' compensation, EDI refers to the electronic transmission of accident and claims information from claims administrators (insurers, self-insured employers and third party administrators) to a state agency. The electronic transfer of accident information replaces the paper copies of the First Report of Injury or Illness (FROI) and the Notice of Benefit Payment which reports subsequent payment information. The International Association of Industrial Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) has been working with the insurance industry since 1991 in developing the standard formats and procedures which make electronic reporting possible. The IAIABC EDI Development committee has produced an "EDI Implementation Guide" which is the recommended reference for claims administrators in implementing EDI processing of workers' compensation information in New Mexico. With the guide, claims administrators system personnel will be able to understand specific details of reporting the Notice of Benefit Payment data in the EDI flat file format (see glossary of terms in Appendix 2) required in New Mexico. The guide also provides information on trigger events and the reporting processes of EDI.

WHY EDI?
· · · · · Most claims administrators already keep computerized claims records The claims reporting process is both paper and labor extensive Duplication of data entry on computer and paper reports increases the probability of errors As workers' compensation costs continue to escalate, EDI is viewed as an avenue to reduce costs and enhance productivity EDI is a time-saving, more efficient means of processing claims

Where is the New Mexico Workers' Compensation Administration in this process? The WCA has been accepting FROI by EDI since April 1,1994. In 1999, New Mexico began requiring parties processing more than 200 lost time claims per year to file by EDI. By January 1, 2000, claims administrators processing more than 100 indemnity claims per year were required to file using EDI. The mandatory requirements for filing the Notice of Benefit Payments have been in effect since January 1, 1998.

EDI GENERAL FILING REQUIREMENTS
New Mexico law requires that every employer or employer's representative file a FROI with the WCA within the time frames and criteria outlined in NMSA 1978. §52-1-58. Under EDI processing, a claims administrator may electronically file a FROI with the WCA in lieu of a paper copy. Organizations filing by EDI become the agent of the employer and are under the same legal filing requirements as the employer. Once the claims administrator has entered into a written EDI filing agreement with the WCA, and has passed the testing requirements (which entails the filing of a Trading Partner Profile), the employer no longer files a paper copy of the FROI with the WCA (See Appendix 2) . The New Mexico WCA requires that EDI transmissions be received by 9:00 a.m., Mountain Time on business days to ensure processing on that day. The reporting party creates a file of FROIs from its data base system. These files must follow the record format as defined by the IAIABC 148 record schema. The files that are created are sent to the WCA electronic mailbox by the use of a communication software package. The WCA processes each report record through an edit program that checks for errors. The WCA then sends an acknowledgment file to the reporting party detailing the status of each record filed. The reporting party may contact the WCA (at phone number 505-841-6072) regarding any rejection of records. Reports that pass the edits are processed into the workers' compensation database.

EDI REQUIRED CAPABILITIES
In order for workers' compensation information to be filed electronically with the WCA, the claims administrator must have the capability to: · · · Construct a data file in the ASCII format of the IAIABC record schema. Transmit the data file through electronic mail. Provide the information within the required parameters.

Currently, the WCA is using the Value Added Networks, the Internet and other vendors that send flat file transmissions. The WCA neither endorses nor requires that a particular software vendor be used. However, the software must meet certain WCA system requirements. As technology changes the WCA transmission requirements are subject to change. For further information on software compatibility contact the WCA Information Systems Bureau. Prior to reading New Mexico's EDI requirements, the claims administrator should be familiar with the IAIABC EDI manual. To obtain this manual please contact the IAIABC and ask for the Claims EDI Process, Version 1.

Data Collection Requirements

EDI Guide Book (December 2007)

FROI TECHNICAL FILING REQUIREMENTS
The following rules apply for submission of the FROI: · Maintenance Type Code = 00: Used for the original first report transmitted between partners, including the re-transmission of an original first report that was rejected due to critical errors. All mandatory fields and non-null required fields must be completed for transmission of the record. · Maintenance Type Code = 01: (Cancellation) The original first report was sent in error and is now required to be eliminated from the WCA's data base. A previous original report must have been filed. Only mandatory fields are required for transmission of the record. · Maintenance Type Code = 02: (Change) A change is made to the original first report. The change is made not as a result of a warning error from the WCA. A previous original report must have been filed. All mandatory fields and non-null required fields must be completed for transmission of the record. · Maintenance Type Code = 04: (Denial) Used by the reporting party to indicate that the employer denies that an injury or illness has occurred. In New Mexico the First Report of Injury or Illness is not considered a claim for benefits until the Notice of Benefit Payment has been filed. A previous original report must have been filed. Only mandatory fields are required for transmission of the record. · Maintenance Type Code = CO: (Correction) The reporting party uses this code when a warning error or non-critical error has been identified by the WCA. Since an original report has previously been filed with the WCA, the reporting party files a correction including all mandatory and non-null required fields with the transmission. · Maintenance Type Code = AU: (Acquired) Used to identify that a claim or injury report has been acquired from a prior claims administrator. The claims administrator transmitting the FROI records must ensure that the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) for each organization they represent is correct.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The WCA uses the injured worker's Social Security Number and date of injury to establish a unique claim file. If either of these data elements have been reported in error, the claims administrator must first delete the original First Report sent and then transmit a new original report with the WCA. Note: if a Notice of Benefit Payment has been filed with the WCA prior to the discovery of the SSN or date of injury error, the claims administrator must call the Information Systems Management Bureau of the WCA to correct the error.

IAIABC 148 RECORD DEFINITIONS AND VALUES
These definitions can be found in the IAIABC EDI manual and are reproduced here to be New Mexico specific. Appendix 1, Table A provides specific information for use in developing the 148 record. M = Mandatory field. A data element having this designation must be included in every transmission of a record. If a mandatory field element is not contained in the 148 transmission a critical error will result and the record will be sent back to the sender. (See Error Processing below for details). C = Conditional field. A nun-null data element having this designation must be transmitted with every first report record. This information is usually time sensitive and is not provided at every stage of the claims process. Once the information is known it must be provided to the WCA at all of the following reporting events. O = Optional field. A non-null data element having this designation may be transmitted. Once transmitted, this field should be transmitted with every First Report. Definitions: [001] Transaction Set ID: Identifies the transaction being sent by the reporting party. For the FROI, Transaction Set ID = 148. [002] Maintenance Type Code (Previously Maintenance Reason Code): Defines the specific purpose of individual records within the transaction being transmitted.

ERROR PROCESSING
In Appendix 1 (see Table C), the EDI edit notes outline the technical and business edits of the 148 record by the WCA. The technical edits of a 148 file are processed within 24 hours or the next business day of the receipt date. The technical edits review the mandatory data elements values of each record and ensure the accuracy of the information. The business edits ensure that the record meets the processing requirements in the order of the record transactions accepted by the EDI methodology. In the case of the 148 record, a business edit would be the one that would ensure that an original 148 record was on file with the WCA data base before processing a deletion, correction or change record. The technical edits create a detailed acknowledgment record for the claims administrator to review to ensure that all records sent were accepted by the WCA (see Appendix 2, Figure D). Records that have been accepted with non-critical errors should be examined by the claims administrator for discrepancies and corrections should be made as soon as possible.

READING THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT RECORD
The claims administrator submitting a FROI is responsible for reviewing the acknowledgment records to ensure that all the reports sent to the WCA were processed. Records that are assigned a "TR" or "TE" in the detail acknowledgment file need further action by the claims administrator. The following transaction codes are used by the claims administrator to determine the status of their claim data submitted: · · · TR = the 148 record was rejected due to critical errors in processing: TE = the 148 record was accepted with non-critical errors: TA = the 148 record was accepted, no errors.

The claims administrator should maintain all acknowledgment files for approximately five years. The IAIABC EDI manual must be obtained to read error messages. Please see Section 6 in the IAIABC EDI manual for the error matrix. For testing procedures, please see Appendix 3.

EDI NOTICE OF BENEFIT PAYMENT FILING REQUIREMENTS
New Mexico law requires that the claims administrator file a Notice of Benefit Payment (known under EDI as the Subsequent Report) with the WCA within the time limits and reporting process outline in §§52-1-58, 52-3-52, and 52-1-60. Under EDI processing, claims administrators may file the Notice of Benefit Payment for several insurance carriers or self-insured employers. Organizations filing by EDI become the agent of the self-insured employer or insurance carrier and are under the same legal filing requirements as the individual claims administrator. Once the claims administrator has completed an E7 (see Appendix 2) and entered into an EDI filing agreement with the WCA for production, the claims administrator no longer needs to file paper copies of the FROI or Notice of Benefit Payment reports with the WCA.

WHEN TO FILE UNDER EDI
The claims administrator is required to file the Notice of Benefit Payment within 10 days after the initial payment of disability to the injured worker. For controverted claims having payment, the administrator has 50 days from the filing of the order to submit a subsequent report. The claims administrator must also file within 30 days of a change in benefit payment or a final payment. For medical-only benefits, the claims administrator is required to file a Notice of Benefit Payment within 180 days of an initial payment totaling $300 or more to the health care provider. The claims administrator is also required to file a closing payment of a medical-only claim within 180 days of this payment. The WCA daily processing time for the Notice of Benefit Payment reports (E6.2) is between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Mountain Time on business days. Transmissions received after 9:00 a.m. will be processed the following business day.

HOW THE FILING PROCESS WORKS
The process of sending subsequent reports is shown in Figure A (see Appendix 2). The reporting party creates a file on Notice of Benefit Payment (Subsequent) Reports from its data base system. These files must be structured in ASCII format as defined by the IAIABC A49 record schema and include the header and trailer records for each file. The files are sent via the value-added network or Internet by the use of a communication software package. Within 24 hours or the next business day of receipt of the transmitted data file, the WCA processes each report record through an edit program. Reports that pass the edits are processed into the WCA database. The edits are based on the data matching the required possible values for each mandatory field within the A49 record. The WCA sends a detailed acknowledgment record outlining both the business and technical edits to the claims administrator within 48 hours of processing the files.

INFORMATION NEEDED TO ESTABLISH EDI FILING
Prior to an EDI filing, the reporting party must have completed a current EDI Trading Partner Profile (E7) form with the WCA databank. This form requests information on the reporting party and each organization it represents. This information is important in identifying and tracking individual claims. The E7 information must be kept current! E7 information includes a local address for insurers with contact person, phone number, Federal Identification Number (FEIN) and electronic mailbox identification. Additionally, the reporting party must include an address with contact person and phone number. FEIN numbers must be identified for all organizations being represented. The WCA also requires the file class designation (see glossary of terms and e-mail address) for the transmission of data files for reporting organizations using the ADVANTIS Network. Please contact the WCA Economic Research Bureau for further information.

EDI REPORT RECORDS FORMAT
The reporting party should have a clear understanding of the EDI report record. The Subsequent Report (Notice of Benefit Payment) is filed in the IAIABC A49 record format shown in Table B (see Appendix 2). Table B shows the data elements, data field names, the New Mexico technical required elements, the data element position number, field length and format, and column positions. The data elements definition and values are explained in the next section. The Header and Trailer record formats are shown in tables C and E respectively. The header record is the first record in every file sent to the administration by the claims administrator. This record describes the file, the date of transmission and the sender information. The trailer record follows all the records in the file and gives the record count of the number of records to be processed. The reporting organization must be aware that the record lengths remain constant for all records. Each data field within the record has a WCA technical requirement designation (i.e. M = Mandatory, C = Required, O = Optional). Data elements that are not available or have no values will have a blank entry in that field except for the following technical requirements designated under the TECH REQ. NM column (see Table B): · M = Mandatory field. A data element having this designation must be included in every transmission of a record. If a mandatory field element is not contained in the A49 transmission, a critical error will result and the record will be sent back to the sender (see Error Processing below for details). · C = Conditional field. A non-null data element having this designation must be transmitted with every Notice of Benefit Payment record. This information is usually time sensitive and is not provided at every stage of the claim process. Once the information is known it must be provided to the WCA at all of the following reporting events. Workers' Compensation Administration 9

Data Collection Requirements EDI Guide Book (December 2007) · O = Optional field. A non-null data element having this designation may be transmitted. Once transmitted, this field should be transmitted with every subsequent report.

TECHNICAL FILING REQUIREMENTS
The following rules apply for submission of the Notice of Benefits Payment: · Maintenance Type Code = IP (Initial Payment): Used for the initial payment subsequent report transmitted between partners, including the retransmission of an initial payment subsequent report that was rejected due to critical errors. Note: the IP is used only for the first E6.2 for an indemnity claim or upon the first payment of indemnity benefits after a medical payment (PY). Reporting Rules: An accepted FROI must have been filed with the WCA for the same worker SSN and Date of Injury prior to the filing of the IP. An IP may not be filed for only indemnity benefits and only one IP is accepted by the WCA for each case. Note: for claims that began as PY, an IP can only be used when the claim type = L. · Maintenance Type Code = PY (Payment, Medical-only or Notification): This code is used for an initial payment of medical claims or for initial payment of attorney fees or funeral expenses. Claims that begin as medical-only or are for notification purposes and have a subsequent indemnity payment require a PY and a follow up IP report (see EDI flow charts). Reporting rules: An accepted FROI must have been filed with the WCA for the same worker SSN and Date of Injury prior to filing a PY. · Maintenance Type Code = CB (Change in Indemnity Benefits): A change in Payment/Adjustment Code has been made or a new indemnity transaction of an additional Payment/Adjustment Code has occurred. This code is used in the following situation: A claim is paid for more than one disability type at different times during the payment period of the claim. For example, a claim has payment beginning for TTD benefits and after MMI, the claim is paid under Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) benefits. Reporting rules: An accepted IP Notice of Benefit Payment has been filed for the same worker SSN and Injury Date prior to the filing of the change in indemnity benefits. · Maintenance Type Code = FN (Closing Payment): This report is filed for the completion of disability benefits paid to the worker. Final medical payments are also reported under this purpose code for medical-only claims. Medical-only claims should be closed to after 90 days of no action from the last payment date. The claim status for medical payments after the final payment is "reopen/closed". Note: once an FN has been filed to and accepted by the WCA, all subsequent reports for the same claim must also be reported as an FN. Reporting rules: A PY for medical-only payments has been filed and accepted or an IP Notice of Benefit Payment report has been filed and accepted for the same worker SSN and Injury Date prior to the filing of the final payment report. · Maintenance Type Code = 02 (Change): A change is made to the Notice of Benefit Payment previously filed. The change is made as a result of a warning error from the WCA. A previous E6.2 report must have been filed. All mandatory fields and non-null required fields must be completed for transmission of the record. Reporting rules: An accepted IP or PY Notice of Benefit Payment report has been filed for the same worker SSN and Injury Date prior to the filing of the change. If a Notice of Benefit Payment report has been filed with the wrong SSN or injury date, the claims administrator must email the change of SSN or date of injury to the WCA. · Maintenance Type Code = CO (Correction): The reporting party uses this code when a warning error or noncritical error has been identified by the WCA in a particular report. Since this Notice of Benefit Payment report has been filed with the WCA, the reporting party must file a correction including all mandatory and non-null required fields with the transmission. Reporting rules: An accepted IP or PY Notice of Benefit Payment report has been filed for the same worker SSN and injury date prior to filing the correction. · Maintenance Type Code = AP (Acquired Claim): This code is used to indicate that indemnity benefits have been paid by the acquiring claims administrator. An AU report (see glossary) for a FROI needs to be sent to update the new carrier and claims administrator information. Reporting rules: An accepted IP or PY Notice of Benefit Payment report has been filed for the same worker SSN and injury date to the filing of the acquired claim and an AU report has changed the carrier information on the FROI.

Data Collection Requirements

EDI Guide Book (December 2007)

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The reporting party transmitting the A49 records must ensure that the FEIN for the claims administrator is complete. The WCA uses the injured worker's SSN and Date of Injury to establish a unique claim file. If either of these data elements has been reported in error after the filing of a Notice of Benefit Payment report, the reporting party must contact the WCA to make the necessary changes. The claims administrator may call (505) 841-6072 and ask to speak to the EDI administrator, or the claims administrator can e-mail the SSN and Date of Injury changes to [email protected]. Note: The NAIC (or SIC) Code must have been provided on the 148 record (i.e. FROI) prior to the submission of the A49 record. All records without an NAIC (or SIC) Code on the FROI will be returned to the sender at the time of the A49 transmission.

IAIABC A49 RECORD DEFINITIONS AND VALUES
These definitions can be found in the IAIABC EDI Manual and are reproduced here to be New Mexico specific. Each field is defined in the order it appears in the A49 record and is identified with a data number consistent with the IAIABC EDI Manual {i.e. DN001}. [DN001] Transaction Set ID: Identifies the transaction being sent by the reporting party. For the Notice of Benefit Payment, Transaction Set ID = A49. [DN002] Maintenance Type Code (Maintenance Reason Code): Defines the specific purpose of individual records within the transaction being transmitted (see above definition). Values: IP = Initial Payment PY = Initial Payment of medical-only benefits or attorney fees or funeral expenses CB = Change in Benefit Payments FN = Final Notice, Closing Payment of medical or indemnity benefits 02 = Change CO = Correction AP = Acquired Payment [DN003] Maintenance Type Code Date (Maintenance Reason Code Date): Designates the date corresponding to the Transaction Set Purpose Code {Format CCYYMMDD}. [DN004] Jurisdiction: The governing body or territory whose statutes apply to the complaint, claim or work injury. In New Mexico, Jurisdiction = NM. [DN005] Agency Claim Number: The number assigned by the New Mexico WCA to identify a specific claim. In New Mexico the claim number is not assigned until Notice of Benefit Payment has been received by the WCA or a complaint has been filed with the Clerk's office. The Claim Number will have the prefix WCAYY {YY = year of filing}. [DN006] Insurer FEIN: The Federal Employer's Identification Number of the carrier or self-insured assuming the employer's financial responsibility for workers' compensation claim(s). [DN008] Third Party Administrator FEIN (Claims Administrator FEIN): The Federal Identification Number of the Third Party Administrator (TPA), Independent Adjuster or Claims Administrator that adjusts the claim on behalf of the carrier, self-insured employer, group or pool. [DN014] Claims Administrator Postal Code: The Zip Code of the claims administrator's or Third Party Administrator's processing facility's mailing address for the FROI, Notice of Benefit Payment report or claim. The code has the 5 digit base with a possible 4 digit extension. [DN015] Claim Administrator's Claim Number: This number is assigned by the claims administrator or third party administrator for identifying a specific claim within their system. The claims administrator must assign a number for this field. This number is a mandatory field because it is used by the WCA as the unique claim identifier. [DN026] Insured Report Number: A number determined by the insured (employer) to identify a specific claim. [DN031] Date of Injury: For traumatic injury, the date on which the accident occurred. In some cases for occupational disease or cumulative injury, this is the date of last injurious exposure to the cause or substance creating the condition. In New Mexico for a traumatic injury (injury resulting from a single accident), enter the date of occurrence. For an occupational illness, arising from the worker's activity or exposure over an extended period, enter the date of diagnosis or the date first reported to the employer as possible work related, whichever is earlier. This item is very important because it is used along with the SSN for identification and computer tracking of the FROI information. It is a primary key in establishing a claim within the workers' compensation system {Format CCYYMMDD}. Workers' Compensation Administration 11

ERROR PROCESSING FOR NOTICE OF BENEFIT PAYMENT
In the appendix, the EDI mapping table outlines the technical and business requirements of the A49 record by New Mexico. The technical edits are processed within 24 hours of the receipt date. The technical edits review each record's mandatory data element values and ensure the accuracy of the information. The business edits ensure that the record meets the processing requirements in the order of the transactions accepted by the New Mexico EDI methodology (see EDI flow charts). In the case of the A49 record, a business edit would be one that would ensure that an original 148 record had been processed prior to the submission of an A49 record. Workers' Compensation Administration 15

Data Collection Requirements

EDI Guide Book (December 2007)

The technical edits create a detail acknowledgment record for the claims administrator to review to ensure that all records sent were accepted by the WCA (see Notice of Benefit Payment Appendix, Data Element Mapping Table). Records that have been accepted with non-critical errors require corrections within 10 days of processing. Records that have been rejected have critical errors. They need to be corrected and resubmitted to the WCA as soon as possible in order to prevent violation of deadline requirements. Penalties can be assessed for violations. Claims administrators submitting the Notice of Benefit Payment Report is responsible for reviewing the acknowledgment records to ensure that all the reports sent have been processed by the New Mexico WCA. Records that are indicated by the detail acknowledgment file to have the following acknowledgment codes need further action by the claims administrator. · · TR = The A49 record was rejected due to critical errors TE = The A49 record was accepted with non-critical errors

The claims administrator should maintain all acknowledgment files for approximately five years. For further information on error processing, please refer to the IAIABC EDI manual.

Processing Notes All records have TSI = A49 Note: IP or PY must be processed prior to any other MTC codes. If PY is processed first and claim turns into an indemnity claim, then an IP is sent with a claim type = L. A CB is processed when the disability payment changes. For IP the MTC date is the first payment date. For CB the MTC date is the date the first payment is made for the new disability. For FN the MTC date is the date that the last indemnity payment was made to the injured worker.

Primary Field Y,N Date >= DOI Date >= DOI 1, 2, 5, 6

This SSN must be the same SSN sent for the First Report of Injury or Illness. Note: The SSN and DOI are matched with the FROI.

This date must be completed for PPD benefits being paid. If RTW Date then Qualifier must exist. If not, error: 020 For RTW Qualifier = 1 or 2 For RTW Qualifier = 5 or 6 If death benefits or funeral expenses are greater than zero, then this field must not be null. If disability payments are being paid, then the wage must be greater than zero.

Primary Field

This field is indicated as "Y" if the salary of the injured or ill worker is continuing to be paid instead of disability payments for the lost time incurred. The DOI field with the SSN field is matched with the First Report of Injury or Illness with the same information before assigning a case number. If a First Report of Injury or Illness is not found for the same SSN and DOI the report is rejected. This number is checked with suspense to ensure correct record.

This agency claim number is returned to the claim administrator after the PY or IP is accepted by the WCA. Claim type "N" or "M" is used for MTC = PY only. For medical-only claims filed as PY originally and becoming indemnity, an IP is sent with a claim type = I.

For the payment of Temporary Total (TTD) indemnity benefits this field must be completed as payment adjustment code = 050, or 550, or 051, or 551. If TTD benefits are being paid then Paid-to-Date > 0.00 and Payment Start Date = eighth day of disability for an IP where benefits are being paid for less than 28 days. In New Mexico for benefits paid for 28 consecutive days form the Date of Injury, the payment adjustment start date = the Date of Injury (DOI). This number must be completed for the total duration of the disability payment. This number must be completed for the total duration of the disability payment.

Data Collection Requirements Notification

EDI Guide Book (December 2007)

When several consecutive days test data has been transmitted to WCA and passed all test requirements, WCA will notify your company via e-mail or letter. This notification will include the date you can begin sending "production" instead of "test" data. If "production" data is received, before formal notification is sent from WCA stating that the company should move from test to production, that batch of data will be returned to the sender without being processed.
