Rule 63. Certificate of Coverage for Insurance
A. Any insurer issuing a policy to provide benefits pursuant to the Workers' Compensation Code, or group self-insurance association approved by the Court Administrator, must report its statutorily required notices of insurance coverage and cancellation electronically with the Administrator using the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) Proof of Coverage (POC) system. To do so, the insurer must elect with the NCCI to use the NCCI POC system, authorize the NCCI to make the required filings on behalf of the insurer, and report its policy information, including, but not limited to, new and renewal policies, binders, cancellations, reinstatements, and endorsements, with the NCCI in accordance with NCCI reporting requirements for the State of Oklahoma.
B. Compliance with 85 O.S., Section 356(G) is required to effect cancellation of a workers' compensation insurance policy. Notice of intent to cancel provided to NCCI or to the Workers' Compensation Court pursuant to 85 O.S., Section 356(G) does not constitute service upon the insured employer of notice of intent to cancel.
C. A policy must be reported to the NCCI no later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of the policy. Every named insured and covered location in the State of Oklahoma must be reported as well. The date the POC information is received by the NCCI will count as the received date for purposes of this deadline. Any insurer who fails to timely or accurately file their policies with the NCCI, may be liable for an administrative violation and subject to a fine by the Administrator of not more than One Thousand Dollars ($1.000.00), as provided in 85 O.S., Section 351.
D. Any expense incurred by the Court or any party resulting from continuances necessitated by the failure of the respondent or its insurer to comply with this rule, may be assessed by the Court against the party responsible.
E. Each certified workplace medical plan shall file, and maintain, with the Court Administrator a current list of its network providers and dispute resolution form, for public disclosure. This filing requirement may be complied with by submission of the required information in writing, or electronically if approved in advance by the Court Administrator. Alternatively, the plan may notify the Administrator in writing of the appropriate InterNet web site address through which the required information may be accessed by the public electronically.
