Insurers' Pending Report

Description and Purpose

The Insurers' Pending Report system was designed as an informational tool to alert insurers on which and when required claim reports are due to the Worker's Compensation Division. The most recent version has been rolled into the Worker's Compensation Division Insurer Portal under "Pending Reports".

The Insurers' Pending Report system key points:

  • Provides Administrators an opportunity to significantly improve their timeliness in submitting required reports and avoid forfeitures.
  • The system is updated continuously as claims are processed and reflects the claims’ most recent status.
  • Information is provided on all open claims that are not in litigation.
  • You may also search for and then re-open closed claims as well as verify which claims are in litigation.
  • You may upload requested documentation instead of faxing to the Worker's Compensation Division- e.g., medical reports, requested wage information, copies of denial letters, etc.

Note: Document Upload is not for submission of WKC12, WKC13, WKC13A/A1 or TPD Worksheet forms; these four forms must be submitted via the Submit New Claim menu or from the applicable Claim Details page. Any uploaded copy of these forms will be deleted and considered not filed. Failing to enter the information through the appropriate functions of this Pending Reports website may result in a surcharge, per Chapter 102.35(1) Wis. Stats.

Not necessarily, since the Insurers' Pending Reports is just a reflection of the information in the WC Division database. It simply shows what information we are expecting for every open, non-litigated claim that we have on our system. For example, if we receive a first report, the Pending Reports will immediately reflect the fact that we are waiting for the first WKC-13 for this claim. That does not necessarily mean that the WKC-13 is late.

If the WKC-13A1 was submitted via the Internet it may need to be reviewed by our staff, so the information submitted will not be updated (or, sometimes, the claim's status changed) until this occurs. Please do not re-submit the same information. If the information sent is not complete, or the report not final, we will let you know either by a letter or through the Pending Reports. If the claim has not been updated in a timely manner to reflect the information sent, contact us.

Account recovery can be accessed by navigating to https://apps.wisconsin.gov. From there click on the link for “Unlock Account?” or “Help”. There is a specific helpdesk to call for account related issues, available 24 hours a day, at 608-471-6667. Additional account resources and information can be found at DET MyWisconsin ID.

Please contact the WC Division if you think we are missing claims. It is possible that we have an incorrect insurer and/or third party administrator associated with the claim, the claim is closed, litigated or we never received the first report of injury.
