How does a carrier elect to receive the WCCPAP file instead of hard copy MCPAP worksheets?
FAQ
To begin receiving WCCPAP files instead of hard copy MCPAP worksheets, the carrier can provide a list to MWCIA of every carrier in the carrier group that should be included in the WCCPAP file. MWCIA will then trigger production of WCCPAP files for those carriers. Hard copy MCPAP worksheets will no longer be provided to the carrier once WCCPAP is turned on.
MWCIA utilizes the CDX system to send WCCPAP files to carriers. Carriers can work with their CDX Insurer Primary Administrator (or a user with admin privileges) and/or their IT department to set up a Location in CDX to receive the files. The files will also be available for manual download from the CDX ETR area, and anyone with ETR privileges can access them for up to a month.

Can a carrier elect to receive both a hard copy of the MCPAP worksheet and the electronic WCCPAP file?
FAQ
No, a carrier can elect to receive WCCPAP files OR they can continue receiving hard copy MCPAP worksheets, until 7/1/2025. Effective 7/1/2025, MCPAP credit factor information will only be available to carriers electronically.

How often are WCCPAP files produced?
FAQ
One flat file is sent per carrier group per business day. These files are triggered by activity in our system, so a WCCPAP file may not be produced every day.
