In-State Adjuster Change Form

Use the In-State Adjuster Change Form to either change your Primary in-state adjusting company designation, or the in-state adjuster for policyholders not handled by the Primary adjusting company.

Out-of-State Check Waivers (top)

To apply for an Out-of-State Check-Writing Waiver, submit a completed application and affidavit to the Industrial Commission at PO Box 83720, Boise, ID 83720-0041. Each surety/underwriter must apply for its own waiver. Waivers are not issued to insurance groups, or to third party adjusters.

Upon receipt of the application, we will review and determine whether we will issue the waiver, based upon the information you return to us and independent information available to us regarding your claims management practices.

Medical Fee Disputes (top)

The Commission has prepared some items to help navigate the medical fee dispute process.  The Commission has also created a separate page to answer frequently asked questions

Reporting injuries (top)

If a work-related injury or illness results in lost work time or requires medical treatment, that injury or illness must be reported to the Idaho Industrial Commission. This is done with a First Report of Injury or Illness form. Before completing the form, be sure to read the instructions. The form can be filled out and sent as an email attachment.

Surety Audits (top)

The Industrial Commission conducts regular compliance audits of insurers and their designated in-state adjusters. The Commission solicits public comments in advance of Commission audits.
