• 3/24/2023 - CAOM Tentative Priority Plan for Deploying Proof of Coverage (POC) 3.0 - CAOM’s tentative priority plan for deploying POC 3.0, which is subject to confirmation by the Michigan Workers’ Disability Compensation Agency (WDCA), is as follows. Please be advised of this priority plan based on the category that best describes your carrier situation below. Should you have any questions, please reply to POC@caom.com.
  1. Member carriers currently submitting paper POC to the WDCA. When POC 3.0 goes live, these carriers may contact CAOM to start the testing/certification process in order for CAOM to report their POC to the WDCA.
  2. Member carriers currently in test phase to use CAOM to report POC to the WDCA, but not in contact with the WDCA to reconcile database cleanup.
  3. Member carriers currently in test phase to use CAOM to report POC to the WDCA, and working with the WDCA to certify for production POC 2.0. These carrier systems must comply with the POC 3.0 requirements.
  4. Member carriers currently in production phase to use CAOM to report POC to the WDCA, but not yet ready from a carrier systems perspective to comply with all POC 3.0 requirements. These carriers should contact the WDCA for further instructions on POC submissions.
