2025 WCAC Data Call Expected to Be Issued May 22

Pursuant to California Insurance Code §11761 and CCR, Title 10, §§2592 – 2592.08, workers’ compensation claims organizations are required to submit data annually to certify with the California Department of Insurance (CDI) that their claims adjusters and medical bill reviewers, including those working for medical billing entities, meet the minimum standards of training, experience, and skill needed to perform their duties with regard to workers’ compensation claims. In recent years, the Workers’ Compensation Adjuster Certification (WCAC) data call for this certification has been issued in May.    

The Institute has contacted the WCAC Data Call Team Leader at the CDI who confirmed that the release of the 2025 Data Call for claims adjuster and medical bill review data is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, May 22. Instructions and applicable due dates will be issued that same day. There is a relatively short time frame for insurers to complete and email the WCAC Acknowledgment of Receipt Form back to the CDI, while the WCAC Data Workbook that insurers use to certify their adjusters and medical bill reviewers is usually due around July 1, though the exact date has varied due to the Independence Day holiday and delays issuing the data call. The Institute will issue an alert to members as soon as the information is released.
