EDI mandated FROI and SROI reporting was initially implemented beginning in 2004 when self insured employers began self administering claims.  The scope of the mandate was expanded in 2008 to include the private carriers selling workers’ compensation coverage in West Virginia. 

As of January 1, 2009, all new trading partners entering the West Virginia market will be expected to be in compliance with both FROI and SROI reporting requirements on the date the company begins providing services and/or writing workers’ compensation coverage in West Virginia.  “Compliance with both FROI and SROI reporting requirements” includes the completion of successful testing and production status approval.
