With the joint solution, workers' compensation insurers, using Guidewire ClaimCenter, can electronically file state-mandated claim reports. The reports are submitted to the states through WorkComp.NET, an EDI clearinghouse managed by Red Oak E-Commerce Solutions, Inc. Workers' compensation carriers are required to file information with state regulatory agencies state regulatory agency A state body responsible for establishing professional standards, and for certifying professionals or organizations through appropriate documentation during the lifecycle of a claim, including First Reports of Injury (FROI FROI First Report of Injury ) and Subsequent Reports of Injury (SROI SROI Social Return on Investment SROI Subsequent Report of Injury SROI Student Rating of Instruction SROI Spill Recovery of Indiana SROI Seniorenregeling Onderzoekinstellingen SROI Supermarket Recycling Organics Initiative SROI Symphonic-Romantic Organ Institute ). Traditionally, the required forms were filled out manually, through a laborious la·bo·ri·ous adj. 1. Marked by or requiring long, hard work: spent many laborious hours on the project. 2.

States are better able to monitor activity and compliance efforts and perform statistical analysis of their workers' compensation programs by using EDI because the data is accurate, easily stored, and readily available to them. A growing number of states are making electronic submission a requirement, with several states issuing fines for non-compliance with EDI requirements. Today 15 states require electronic submission and an additional 11 states accept voluntary electronic filing. While electronic submission offers potentially lower costs to insurers, it also presents new challenges. The electronic claim file must capture all required data elements in relation to the reason for filing, and submissions that fail state-specific edits must be processed through an error correction process. Multi-state carriers must also conform to Verb 1. conform to - satisfy a condition or restriction; "Does this paper meet the requirements for the degree?" fit, meet coordinate - be co-ordinated; "These activities coordinate well" the differing requirements of each state in which they do business. "Together with WorkComp.NET, we provide our customers added convenience as they transition to electronic reporting," said Stacy Bruzek, principal product marketing manager, Guidewire Software. "Our partnership makes it possible for insurers to realize efficiencies by streamlining their workers' compensation state reporting process while setting high standards of accurate, electronic, and timely reporting." Now, instead of requiring adjusters to manually fill out paper forms or key data into electronic forms, ClaimCenter captures all required data elements and transmits this information to WorkComp.NET, ROES' EDI clearinghouse, for transmission to states that require FROI/SROI reporting. WorkComp.NET handles the work of reformatting the claim to meet the reporting requirements of different states, and then transmits that data to those states via a secure network.
