Proof of Coverage filings via EDI

Welcome to Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). The New Hampshire, Department of Labor, Division of Workers' Compensation is pleased to announce its plans for receiving Proof of Coverage (6WC) filings via EDI. The data we receive will be integrated with other data systems to make up our Workers' Compensation Information System, which will become a rich resource for analyzing the performance of New Hampshire's Workers Compensation System.

The manual State of New Hampshire, Department of Labor, Division of Workers' Compensation EDI Implementation Guide for Proof of Coverage (POC) is intended to be a primary resource for New Hampshire Licensed Insurance Companies to submit proof of coverage filings via EDI.

In August of 2008 the New Hampshire, Department of Labor signed an agreement with NCCI, to begin to accept the New Hampshire Form 6WC (Proof of Coverage) filings via EDI. As NCCI currently provides a service for the collection and reporting of proof of coverage information in several states, the New Hampshire, Department of Labor has designated NCCI as its agent to collect, store and report POC Information. We are working on the development of this system with NCCI and expect to complete testing in February/March 2009. You must continue to submit your proof of coverage filings via paper until you are contacted by the department, NCCI or both, to notify you of the switch from paper filings to electronic filings.

New Hampshire, Department of Labor will be receiving the Proof of Coverage Filings from NCCI, and will not be accepting Proof of Coverage directly from the Insurance Company. The Implementation Guide is provided to present the data that is important to New Hampshire. NCCI will utilize the guide to develop New Hampshire specific data collection and parsing for EDI submittal.
