Trading Partners

All injuries and corresponding Workers’ Compensation Claims Related Data is required to be reported to the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission electronically, via EDI. A Sender/Trading Partner who wishes to administer workers’ compensation claims in Virginia is required to register with the Commission. Registration should be completed at https://wcs.iso.com/tp-register/login and must be done prior to the Commission approving the entity for production in Virginia. Any changes to the information in the profiles must be made immediately through the same registration link. This information is essential to the Commission’s Claims Processing system and our Vendor’s system for the acceptance and rejection of transaction. The Commission’s EDI Quality Assurance Department also uses this information to obtain the appropriate point of contact for EDI related issues for each entity.

Registration Instructions for creating a new account or making updates can be found at https://vwcedi.info/reg-instructions. The Commission also provides a Training Aid for the Trading Partner Registration that provides the importance of this information, terms to know, things to know and common questions.
