What does Duplicate mean?
In our system a duplicate does not mean a duplicate EDI transmission; it is not a fatal error and therefore does not affect your electronic reporting accuracy rating. Sometimes we have already received the injury report via the Internet WKC-12. When loading an EDI claim onto our database we always check SSN + INJURY DATE (plus or minus six days) before the claim actually loads. If we discover that the injury was previously reported and is already in our database, we will acknowledge your electronic transmission as a duplicate.
