 ACHIEVING SUCCESS TIPS

Use our Manual as a Cost-Cutting Tool     

 

During the annual stewardship meeting a top-5 broker discusses lag time results indicating slow reporting led to high claim costs. After politely discussing the troubling trend, the broker reviews the concept of lag time and gives the client our workers compensation cost-cutting manual.

 

Together they review Chapter 5: Reporting a Claim and Chapter 6: Post Injury Response which describe why rapid reporting is necessary and how the post injury process should be evaluated and enhanced to correct the situation. The company was not aware that a seemingly minor gap in their current procedure caused reporting delays.

 

The company then implements two minor - but important - changes to their process. As part of the remediation plan, the risk manager provides books to all 15 divisions and sets up a conference call to go over the newly revised post injury process.
