DWC Creates New Form to Request Detailed Data for Carriers
The Texas Department of Insurance, Division of Workers’ Compensation is accepting public comment on a proposed new form: DWC Form-029, Request for Standard Detailed Data Reports.
Insurance carriers, including certified self-insurers, certified self-insurer groups, and governmental entities, may submit the new form to ask for claim-level data they have already submitted to DWC. The data will be made available to them or another entity on their behalf. The reports provide the detail related to the insurance carrier performance scorecards for:
• timely payment of initial temporary income benefits and EDI reporting;
• timely processing of medical bills and EDI reporting; and
• timely processing of reconsideration medical bills and EDI reporting.
The new form will replace the current process for requesting standard detailed data reports through DWC’s open records portal. DWC will establish a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) box to provide data to the requestor.
The proposed form is available on the TDI website at www.tdi.texas.gov/wc/rules/drafts.html. Written comments on the form may be submitted by email to RuleComments@tdi.texas.gov, or by mailing or delivering your comments to:
