What is a Work Comp Coordinator To Do
Successful containment of workers compensation costs is more than knowing and implementing the "rules." Making good decisions counts for a lot. Here is how one adjuster made a truly "unsuccessful" decision, even though he knew the law.
A workers comp coordinator filed a workers comp claim telling the adjuster the injury occurred three months prior to the reporting date and suggested he deny the claim. Why was that? Well, first the coordinator did not think the employee sustained an injury, even though as time went by, the employee found he was in excruciating pain, sought medical treatment and did file a claim. The adjuster abandoned decision-making to the claims coordinator, even though his knowledge of the statute was superior.
