Compliance Outreach: Measuring and Monitoring Payor Performance Penalty Notices

As of January 2016, the NYS Workers’ Compensation Board will begin to issue penalties against Insurance Carriers, Self-Insured Employers and Municipalities for not filing a timely first report of injury (FROI) in the fourth quarter of 2015. Thereafter, additional measurements will be implemented along with additional penalty letters being sent.

In order to expedite the process, the Board is requesting that each carrier (W code) send the carrier name, W code, full address along with the contact person’s name and e-mail address in which the penalty letter(s) should be sent. Please forward this information by e-mail to: monitorregistration@wcb.ny.gov. Please state penalty letter in subject line.

Please note that the address submitted will ONLY be used by the Board for the submission of the Payor Compliance penalty letters and will not affect any other mailings the Board currently sends.

Please be advised that we will not send penalty notices to a Third Party Administrator or a Third Party Administrators address.

Thank You,
