Summary

This tab page identifies a particular ACC Claim and its status in the ACC process. This information is generated in the ACCPP Claim Header file.

Case manager:

Records the name of the case manager responsible for this employee’s accident claim record. The case manager can be an employee of the company, TPA, or ACC personal case manager.

If an Accredited Employer is handling a claim on behalf of the ACC, then the Claim Administrator specified in Modify Company Settings is considered to be the primary ACC contact. The Claim Administrator specified in Modify Company Settings is copied to the Case manager field if Record format does not equal ‘I – Initial Claim Data’. If you manually update the Case manager field, then PayGlobal uses the updated information instead of the information in Company Settings.

If an employer is not ACC Accredited, then the employer will not manage the employee's ACC claim and a case manager does not need to be specified. The Notes tab can be used to record this information on an employee's claim record.

Record format:

Indicates the current status of the claim according to ACC specifications.

Values specified by the ACC are:

• I – Initial Claim Data

• R – Re-opened Claim

  Applies to closed claims that have already been submitted to ACC and have now been reopened.

• D – Deleted Claim

  You cannot delete a valid claim; you must close it. If you complete a claim incorrectly and it is invalid, then the ACCPP Claims Data file must show this.
