How NCCI Provides POC Data to State
  • NCCI Daily POC format
  • Proof of Coverage Inquiry
POC Timeliness Reporting Requirements
Transaction Received Date

NCCI’s received date is used to determine timeliness on POC transactions accepted by the state.

Policies

Must be filed within 5 days after undertaking to insure an employer.

POC Notices may be submitted if the policy will not be issued within 5 days after undertaking to insure an employer. This does not eliminate the need to submit the policy.

Cancellations

At least 30 days' notice shall be given by the insurance carrier to the employer and to the commission of any cancellation or nonrenewal of a policy if the cancellation or nonrenewal is at the election of the insurance carrier. The insurance carrier shall promptly notify the commission of any cancellation by the employer or failure of the employer to renew the policy.

Policies may not be cancelled by the insurer except for nonpayment or when one or both parties to a Professional Employer Organization agreement terminate the agreement.

Reinstatements

Due within 5 days after the reinstatement.

Nonrenewals

At least 30 days' notice shall be given by the insurance carrier to the employer and to the commission of any cancellation or nonrenewal of a policy if the cancellation or nonrenewal is at the election of the insurance carrier. The insurance carrier shall promptly notify the commission of any cancellation by the employer or failure of the employer to renew the policy.

POC Data Reporting Requirements

Data Elements:

  • Refer to the POC Data Element Requirements Chart located in NCCI’s Policy and Proof of Coverage (POC) Reporting Guidebook for all requirements

Address Reporting—No Physical Location:

  • When there is no physical location in the state, Arizona will accept Employer Names linked to:
    • Address Type 2—Location of Operations with an Out-of-State Address reported with State Code Link 02
    • Arizona will not accept Employer Names linked to an Address Type 6—No Physical Location

State Processing Exceptions:

  • Insurance companies writing workers compensation policies that use a Third Party Administrator (TPA) to process claims must register and provide the TPA contact information to the Industrial Commission of Arizona within 5 days of reporting the policy to NCCI.
  • Please provide a contact name and phone number to the ICA for policy/TPA clarification purposes. If you have questions about the TPA information or coverage issues, please contact Joyce Escobedo, Industrial Commission of Arizona, at 602-542-6733.
POC Penalties & Appeals
POC Fines

Possible Bad Faith Patterns and Practices fine of $1,000 for each incident if coverage provider and/or processing Third Party Administrator (TPA) are consistently reporting late, which results in delay of benefits.

Appeals

May appeal fines to the Industrial Commission of Arizona.
