What is EDI?
EDI is defined as a computer-to-computer exchange of data in a standardized format. Each trading partner (insurance carriers, adjusters, third-party administrators who submit documents) must agree to use the standardized format and set of rules in order to participate in EDI. EDI is widely used in industry to transmit traditional documents such as invoices and purchase orders between companies. Standardized transactions sets have been developed so that hundreds of different documents now can be electronically exchanged. The result is a highly efficient means of conducting business.
The International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC)
The International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC) is a private association of workers’ compensation professionals from public and private sectors with a basic objective to strengthen and improve the administration of workers’ compensation laws.
On a national level, the IAIABC has spearheaded a program to use EDI for workers’ compensation. State jurisdictions, insurance carriers, self-insured employers, third-party administrators, vendors (those who process the electronic forms) and the IAIABC have formed national EDI committees to develop, implement and maintain EDI formats for the workers’ compensation system.
EDI Advantages
The electronic submission of workers’ compensation claim information has many advantages over the submission of paper forms. Benefits for both the Industrial Accidents Division and its stakeholders include:
- Improved reporting performance
- Time savings
- Cost savings
- Improved accuracy and efficiency
Proof Of Coverage EDI
Oversight of workers’ compensation policy reporting consists of matching policy data to Utah employers reporting employees.
Since October 1998 Utah has been an electronic data reporting state. All workers’ compensation insurance carriers are required to report policy data through the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) or Insurance Services Office (ISO), these agencies then send the data to the Industrial Accidents Division.
Utah Code Ann. §34A-2-205 establishes the requirement of insurance carriers to report workers’ compensation policy information to the Industrial Accidents Division. The accuracy of the policy information provided by the insurance carriers assists the Division in identifying uninsured employers for the purpose of bringing them into compliance with the Workers’ Compensation Act.

Workers' Compensation Insurance Organization Injury Description Codes
Uninsured Employers Fund (UEF)
The UEF was established in 1994 to provide benefits to injured workers whose employers did not maintain the statutorily required workers’ compensation insurance and otherwise cannot pay because of insolvency.
Money for this fund is collected by the Tax Commission from a surcharge on workers’ compensation insurance premiums in Utah, in addition to an assessment to employers that are self-insured for workers’ compensation. Penalties imposed against employers who fail to maintain workers’ compensation insurance are also deposited to the UEF. Money collected is invested with the State Treasurer where interest is earned.
An independent actuarial review of the future liabilities is completed each year.
Employers Reinsurance Fund (ERF)
The ERF pays certain workers’ compensation benefits to eligible workers (and their dependents) as a result of work accidents that occurred prior to July 1994. For many years, the Fund acted as a reinsurer to the commercial insurance market (1) for claimants that exceed a specific period of benefits with the private insurer or (2) to pay the liability for pre-existing impairment of workers rendered disabled by an industrial accident.
With legislation passed in 1994, the ERF discontinued acting as a reinsurer for new injuries and it now only covers injuries that occurred up to June 30, 1994.
The fund had an unfunded liability in 1994, and it has been working since that time to generate sufficient money to fund the liability. In order to meet this objective, the fund must collect more money each year than it pays out. Money going into the fund is collected by the Tax Commission from a surcharge on workers’ compensation insurance premiums in Utah, plus an assessment to self-insured employers. Money that is collected is invested with the State Treasurer where interest is earned.
An independent actuarial review of the future liabilities is completed each year.
