Visit Your Adjusters, and Learn
Plan a "chair-side" visit with your third-party administrator or carrier to learn, well, everything you can about how your claims are handled including:
- How your intake is done.
- How more proactive and involved clients handle intake.
- Ask to see every possible vendor available for intake solutions.
- Make communication aids available such as telephone and lanyard labels & instruction books, to ensure the injured employee can contact the correct service easily and without delay.
- Sit with intake coordinator, med-only and lost time adjusters and ask: "What happens next?' "What follows that?"
