Introduction to electronic data interchange(EDI) service providers

Claims administrators seeking assistance in implementing EDI may wish to consult one or more of the EDI service providers listed below. Many of these firms offer a full range of EDI-related services: consultation, technical support, value added network VAN-services, and/or software products. These products and services can make it possible for claims administrators to successfully transmit data via EDI, without themselves becoming knowledgeable about record layouts, file formats, event triggers, or other EDI details.

Another alternative to developing a complete EDI system is to contract for the services of a data collection agent. For a fee, a data collection agent will receive paper forms by fax or mail, enter the data, and transmit it by EDI to state agencies or other electronic commerce trading partners.

The California Division of Workers' Compensation does not have a process for granting "approvals" to any EDI service providers. The listings below are simply providers known to the division. The lists will be updated as additional resources become known.

Appearance on the following lists does not in any way constitute an endorsement of the companies listed or a guarantee of the services they provide. Other companies not listed may be equally capable of providing EDI-related services.

Note to suppliers of EDI-related services: Please contact wcis@dir.ca.gov if you wish to have your organization added or removed, or if you wish to update the contact information.
