Electronic Filing of Claims

The 121 st Maine Legislature enacted legislation that required the State of Maine Workers’ Compensation Board (WCB) to adopt rules mandating electronic filing. The legislation directed the Board to proceed by the consensus based rulemaking process. A committee was formed consisting of representatives from the insurance community, self insureds, WCB of Directors, and WCB staff. Recommendations were forwarded and unanimously approved by the Board of Directors. This link will provide a copy of the approved Electronic Filing/EDI Rule.

The WCB uses the International Association of Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) Claims Release 3 for all EDI filings.  Currently the WCB requires two types of reports to be filed electronically: First Report of Injury and Notice of Controversy.  Fax transmission is not an accepted method to meet the context of electronic filing discussed above.  The production deadline for the electronic submission for each of the forms is identified in the Electronic Filing/EDI Rule. Documentation will be posted on the WCB website as it becomes available.
