The Division of Workers Compensation (KDWC) within the Kansas Department of Human
Resources (KDHR) is charged with acquiring health service utilization data
reflecting the experience of its workers compensation clients. As a cooperative effort
among agencies, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), the
Healthcare Data Governing Board (HCDGB), and the KDWC will share information
resources and standards in collecting this data. Authority for collection of this data resides
with the workers compensation statutory requirements (K.S.A. 44-557a). The workers
compensation data will be collected through the same process as required by the Kansas
Insurance Commissioner's statistical plan (K.S.A. 40-2251) currently in place at KDHE for
accident and health experience. Data will be provided to the Division of Workers
Compensation for ongoing refinement and revision of the medical fee schedule as required
by K.S.A. 44-510i. Data reporting will be required of insurers that provide workers compensation insurance in Kansas. The Kansas Workers Compensation Insurance Information System (WCIIS) standard, developed by the Center for Health and Environmental Statistics (CHES) / Office of Healthcare Information (OHCI) for data reporting and processing, will be employed. OHCI staff will provide guidance for program development and data preparation as the claim level database is created. KDHE analytical staff will review submitted data for quality assurance, and provide feedback to submitting companies. Confidentiality will be ensured as outlined in Section IV of this WCIIS Technical Manual. |
