N.C. Industrial Commission Forms

NCIC Forms on White Paper Only: The Industrial Commission requires that all forms be submitted on white paper and no colored forms will be accepted from this point forward due to the use of an electronic document management system. Paper forms are converted to images and the color is no longer useful but degrades the quality of the electronic image.

Discontinued Forms: N.C. Industrial Commission Forms 25D, 25M, 30A, and 50 have been discontinued. Form 25D has been replaced by the American Dental Association-accepted claim form, and Form 25M has been replaced by Form CMS-1500 (formerly Form HCFA-1500) from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. (For more information on Form CMS-1500 from the National Uniform Claim Committee (NUCC), click here. To get a sample of the CMS-1500, complete with instructions, please click here. For just the form alone, please click here.) Forms 25D and 25M were only accepted through 1 June 2001; now, physicians and dentists must use the other forms. Please click here for information on the UB-04 Uniform Billing form (formerly Form UB-92 or HCFA-1450).

EDI: The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) affords insurers and the N.C. Industrial Commission a method of exchanging certain information electronically and thereby avoiding multiple entry of data into the computer system. EDI is fast, accurate, reliable, and cost effective. Many insurers nationwide use EDI routinely, and the Industrial Commission is working hard to make this service available for filing workers’ compensation data. Insurers who agree to send documents electronically sign an agreement with Commission. The agreement includes testing the reporting system to determine if the transmission mechanism is acceptable. Insurers must resend any data that is incomplete or invalid.

Industrial Commission.
