What is the overall implementation timeline, and how has that been determined?
The TAP team has established a phased timeline determined by insurance carrier (or self-insured employer) claim volume. Carriers with high volumes will implement EDI on either October 1, 2008 (more than 1,000 non-minor claims annually) or December 1, 2008 (between 100 – 999 non-minor claims annually). Carriers filing fewer than 100 non-minor claims annually will go live on March 1, 2008. A one-page summary of the Phasing Approach for Carriers can be found on the EDI Initiative page. • I am a Third Party Administrator managing claims for a single carrier, or multiple carriers. Can the Commission provide me with typical business scenarios to help me better understand when I must be prepared to implement EDI? As mentioned in Question 10 above, Carrier volume determines the Wave implementation date for Third Party Administrators.
