Job Description:
Workers’ Compensation Disability Compensation Agency (WDCA)
 
EDI Consultant Background:

• WDCA is developing a new multi-function data base system to completely replace the existing mainframe-based system.

• A significant feature of the new system is electronic filing of claims and proof of insurance coverage (POC) information as required by statute using direct computer data transfer referred to as “Electronic Data Interchange” or EDI.
• The interchange of extensive information is done using national standards promulgated through the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC).
• These were developed with significant participation by experts over the last several years. Developing the new system to align with the national standards is complex and highly detailed. The development of the acceptance criteria has proven to be very time consuming and is causing delay in the development of the new program.
