Raytech Trust - Pre-Filling Raytech Claim Forms
The CPF has an extensive database of claimant information
that has been compiled during the processing of asbestos personal injury claims. The
Raytech TDP specifically
allows that information from other trusts can be used to provide claim information to the
Raytech Trust. The benefits to claimants and their attorneys include:
Much of the data entry and individual filing can be
avoided by electronically transferring the data Raytech claims can be filed in-bulk using existing CPF data Positive review results can automatically be used to
expedite the review process, e.g., a mesothelioma diagnosis confirmed by the EPI or Keene Trust can be used to confirm a
Raytech diagnosis without re-reviewing the medical information
There are two ways for a law firm to take advantage of
existing CPF data to pre-fill and expedite Raytech claim filing(s).
- Create draft eFile claims and approve the
claims through the eFile website.
To use this method, a law firm should contact the CPF to indicate which
cases from EPI or Keene should be used to create draft Raytech claims. This is a simple process
during which the CPF will provide a report in Excel format of all paid EPI and/or
Keene claims for
which mesothelioma, lung cancer, other cancer or serious asbestosis was confirmed. Based
on that information, the law firm will indicate which draft Raytech claims to create.
Those draft claims will then be created on the eFile system allowing the law firm to go into each claim online,
add any missing data (e.g., product identification), and submit the claim.
- Use CPF data to pre-fill Bulk Upload Template.
A law firm may elect to file many claims at once using the eFile Bulk Upload
Template. This has the advantage of not requiring a person to submit each claim
individually through the eFile system. This can be a great time saver for firms
who have their claimant data stored in an electronic system of their own. An
option for the firms is to use data from CPF to supplement data they have to
create the best possible Raytech claim submission. For example, a firm may wish
to match confirmed medical data from EPI or Keene with specific product identification
for Raytech exposure from their own system. The resultant claims can then be submitted
in-bulk to the CPF. In order to get the information they need, the law firm should
contact the CPF to make a customized data extract request.
