In R3 EDI, all WC data
is sent electronically
via a
FROI or SROI
transaction.

First Report
of Injury
(FROI)
5
Release 3 FROI Transaction
Originally, the EDI First Report of Injury
Record was identified by a single
record with a Transaction Set ID of
'148'.
In Release 3, the 148 record must be
paired with a companion record - R21,
FROI Companion Record to complete
the First Report of Injury transaction.
6
Release 3 FROI Transaction
This means the Release 3 FROI
transaction requires 2 records
to communicate the First Report
event, the “148” & “R21”
records.

Release 3 SROI Transaction
Originally, the EDI Subsequent Report
of Injury Record was identified by a
single record Transaction Set ID of
‘A49’.
In Release 3, the A49 must be paired
with a companion record - R22, SROI
Companion Record, to complete the
SROI transaction.
16
Release 3 SROI Transaction
This means the Release 3
SROI transaction requires 2
records to communicate the
Subsequent Report
event, the “A49” &
“R22” records.

What Is An
MTC
35
36
A code that defines the
specific purpose of each
transaction being
transmitted.
37
DWC Forms required to
be filed with the Division
are replaced by EDI filings
identified by MTC codes.
38
Most MTC codes equate to a
DWC Form that will no longer be
required to be filed with DWC.
However the DWC Form may still
be required to be sent to other
parties (e.g., DWC-1, 4, 12).
39
When an MTC is required to be
sent at the ‘Benefits level’ on the
SROI (i.e., in the benefits
segment itself), the same MTC
must be sent at the ‘Claim level’
on the SROI.

63
What are
“Other Benefit Type” Codes
(OBT’s)?
64
OBT’s are
codes that represent the type of
non-indemnity benefits being
paid.
65
Other Benefit Type Codes
(required by FL)
300 – Total Funeral Expenses
310 – Total Penalties
311 – Total Employee Penalties

430 – Total Unallocated Prior Indemnity Benefits
(acquired claims)
475 – Total Medical Travel Expenses
67
FL has reduced the amount of
OBT Codes required to be
reported for R3, because the
majority of medical information
is already being reported to
the Division via another
electronic format.

FL SCENARIO
ASSUMPTIONS
74
FL SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
General scenario
assumptions are included
in the scenarios to assist in
understanding the sample
data that is presented.
75
FL SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
The FL Scenarios were enhanced
from the IAIABC scenarios in the
R3 Implementation Guide.
All the 2001 dates were moved
forward to 2007 (the next year
where all dates fell on the same
day of the week).
76
FL SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
Calculated Weekly
Compensation Amount is the
Comp. Rate, and is 66 2/3% of
the Average Wage.
The statutory comp rate max is
not accurate per FL law.
77
FL SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
 Scenarios are presented in
uppercase text. However, data
may be sent to FL in mixed case
format (except between
FROI/SROI combos for match data.)
 Payment of indemnity benefits
is based upon a 5 day work week.
 The Industry Code must be
a 2002 or 2007 NAICS code.
78
FL SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
FL Scenarios contain required
sample data elements pertinent
to the scenario. These data are
identified as “M” (Mandatory) or
“MC” (Mandatory/Conditional) on
the FL Element Requirement
Table.
79
FL SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
Additional data elements may
be present in the scenario if
they are identified as “IA”
(If Applicable/Available) on the
Element Requirement Table
(e.g., Middle Initial and Suffix).
80
FL SCENARIO ASSUMPTIONS
Although Claim Administrators
may send additional data
elements marked “NA” (Not
Applicable), such data will not
be edited or loaded by FL, and
therefore not presented in the
scenarios.
81
Note: Do not use the FL Business
Scenarios to determine if a data
element is required for a particular
MTC.
The Element Requirement Table is
the official source of FL’s data
element requirements per MTC
and the conditions under which the
data must be present.

NEW CLAIM: Lost Time Case
Where Disability is Immediate and Continuous
If the Initial Payment of Indemnity
Benefits will be made by the Claim
Administrator, and
 Indemnity Benefits other than TP
or IB or settlement will be paid, an
 Electronic First Report of Injury or
Illness is due.
91
NEW CLAIM: Lost Time Case
Where Disability is Immediate and Continuous
Again, the specific timeframes for
the timely submission of this and
other required electronic filings are
set out in Rule 69L-56, F.A.C., the
Event Table, and the MTC Filing
Instructions document (all available
on the Claims EDI web page.)
92
To avoid late filing penalties for an
Electronic First Report of Injury or
Illness, the EDI DWC-1 should be
triggered immediately upon the CA’s
disposition of the claim (payment or
denial), to allow time for correction of
potential errors and resubmission and
subsequent receipt/acceptance by the
Division within the filing due dates
specified in Rule 69L-56, F.A.C.

(DN 0195)
Benefit Payment Issue Date (DN 0192)
and Payment Issue Date (DN 0195)
Due to the advancement of technology,
Payment Issue Date & Benefit Payment
Issue Date were recently updated and
added to the current IAIABC Supplement
to include electronic fund transfer (EFT)
payments made by the claim
administrator to an injured employee.
Benefit Payment Issue Date (DN 0192)
and Payment Issue Date (DN 0195)
The update to the definitions of
Payment Issue Date and Benefit
Payment Issue Date will be in the
2014 IAIABC Implementation
Guide (Data Dictionary).
Benefit Payment Issue Date (DN 0192)
and Payment Issue Date (DN 0195)
For Maintenance Type Codes:
IP
AP
PY
RB
- Initial Payment,
- Acquired/Payment,
- Payment Report, and
- Reinstatement of Benefits,
the Benefit Payment Issue Date and
Payment Issue Date is…
Benefit Payment Issue Date (DN 0192)
and Payment Issue Date (DN 0195)
…the date when the check that
initiated the Maintenance Type
Code is officially surrendered during
business hours to a letter delivery
organization, is available for pickup
per agreement with the employee,
or…
Benefit Payment Issue Date (DN 0192)
and Payment Issue Date (DN 0195)
… the date the funds are available
to the employee, if the payment
is made by Electronic Funds
Transfer (EFT).
Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)
Payments
If a claim administrator opts to pay
an injured employee via EFT, it is
the claim administrator’s
responsibility to be familiar with
the bank’s process to ensure
Payment Issue Date is reported
accurately.
Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT)
Payments
Florida Statute 440.20(1)(a) states:
“Compensation by direct deposit or
through the use of a prepaid card is
considered paid on the date the funds
become available for withdrawal by the
employee.”
Back to the
SROI MTC “IP” SCENARIO
155
SROI MTC “IP” SCENARIO
FL requires the reporting of the
exact amount of the Claim
Administrator’s initial payment of
indemnity benefits on MTC IP;
therefore, the Payment segment
must also be sent on the SROI,
in accordance with the Element
Requirement table.
156
SROI MTC “IP” SCENARIO
If filing late, or re-sending an 00/IP
that previously rejected, AND
another indemnity check has been
issued since the first installment,
the Benefit Type Amount Paid
should reflect the total amount and
ALL benefits paid to date at the time
of filing, not just the amount of the
initial indemnity (IP) check.
157
SROI MTC “IP” SCENARIO
However, the Payment Segment
should only reflect the initial
payment information, not
subsequent payment information.
This is the segment from which
DWC loads the ‘Date First
Payment Mailed’, to its claims
system utilized by CPS.
158
SROI MTC “IP” SCENARIO
MTC IP requires a Payments segment.
Payment Reason Code = Benefit Type
Code.
159
SROI MTC “IP” SCENARIO
Payment information related to the
Initial Payment is captured in the
Payments segment.
160
SROI MTC “IP” SCENARIO
Payment Issue Date = Benefit Payment
Issue Date in Benefits Segment.

Claim Administrator Claim Number
DN 0015
The current IAIABC Supplement was
recently updated to clarify that a Claim
Administrator Claim Number should be
unique for each claim in the claim
administrator’s system.
Claim Administrator Claim Number
DN 0015
This means that a claim administrator
should not report more than one claim
with the same claim number.
Claim Administrator Claim Number
DN 0015
Additionally, the Data Processing Rule
for this definition was updated to ensure
that the Employee SSN is not reported
as or embedded in the claim number to
prevent confidentiality or redaction
issues for states that must produce
public records.
Claim Administrator Claim Number
DN 0015
Due to Florida’s broad public records
law, which requires the release of a
claim number on a public records
request, in April 2013, the Division
implemented edits to prevent the
reporting of Employee SSN in the Claim
Administrator Claim Number field.
Claim Administrator Claim Number
DN 0015
These changes were necessary to avoid
the accidental release of the employee’s
SSN when a claim number is provided as
part of a public records request.
