How To Set Up and Use DVR's Scanning Methods

Expand All | Collapse All

Reports can be provided in a variety of methods that include (listed in order of preference):

  • Uploaded directly to case in the Service Provider Portal
  • URL upload
  • Faxing
  • Emailing

Reports are attached to IRIS using the URL and Fax Number scanning methods. The benefits to this process include but are not limited to the following:

  • Improving accuracy of the reports
  • Improving timeliness of the reports being attached to the case file
  • Reducing time and paper usage

Note: Reports with headers can be found on the Service Providers Technical Specifications page

  • Double check the IRIS number for accuracy. Do not enter all "0s" if the IRIS number is unknown.
  • Please use the correct form for the correct service.
  • Do not use a cover letter.
  • Do not tamper with header (font, spacing, size, etc.)
  • Make sure to use the correct abbreviated Service Provider name your company created.

Note: The abbreviation (up to 10-characters) can be found under the Service Provider tab in the Service Provider Portal.

  1. Set-up access to the Service Provider Portal
    1. The main contact and any personnel assigned administrator role can log into service agreement to verify that scanning role has been assigned to personnel within each individual personnel profile.

      1. Request registration by going to the DVR Service Provider site and clicking "create an account."

  2. Access the report upload site by going to DVR File Upload page and entering your service provider portal credentials.
    Note: You may need to enter the prefix 'WIEXT\' before username to login.
