Changes to Bulk Upload for Secondary Exposure Claims

Due to changes made in our application to accommodate the entry of multiple Occupationally Exposed Persons as sources of a claimant’s exposure, secondary exposure data will now be provided on the Exposure spreadsheet when submitting claims by bulk upload. The new format is reflected in the updated specs that are available on the Trust websites and outlined below:
  1. Claimlawsuit – This spreadsheet will now contain one question related to secondary exposure: “IsSecondaryExposure.” This is not a required field for all claims, but it must be answered with yes if the Injured Party is claiming secondary exposure. The name of the OEP will no longer be provided on this spreadsheet.
  2. Exposure – The columns shown in the specs below must be completed for each jobsite where the injured party is claiming secondary exposure (for all sites where a “yes” has been given for the “IsSecondaryExposure” question in Claimlawsuit); without this information, a complete Exposure record will not be added to the claim form. Required fields are indicated by footnote 5; the additional fields are optional. There will no longer be a yes/no question as to whether a particular exposure record is secondary on this spreadsheet.
