The Wisconsin Compensation Rating Bureau (WCRB) has designed a worker’s
compensation insurance coverage lookup application to assist in the lookup of an
employer's insurance carrier. The
Coverage Lookup provides a means for employees, attorneys, heath care
providers and others to obtain insurance carrier claims processing information
for a particular coverage, injury, or illness date.
Wisconsin law requires most employers to provide workers' compensation
insurance. The Coverage Lookup provides information for 1) employers that have
purchased a Wisconsin worker’s compensation insurance policy and 2) employers
(parent companies and their subsidiaries) that have obtained State of Wisconsin
approval to self-insure. Employer and insurance carrier information is updated
weekly.
The Coverage Lookup allows users to search by an accident date (October 1991 to
present) and then by employer name or employer Federal Employer Identification
Number (FEIN) or employer address to determine the insurance company that was
covering the business on the date of an injury.
The Coverage Lookup can also be used to determine if an employer has a current
Wisconsin worker’s compensation insurance policy.
The insurance carrier name, address and telephone number is provided.
The
Insurance Coverage Lookup is located on the WCRB web site.
