Workers Compensation Claim Stewardship
We provide your company with dedicated claim reviews, including summaries of open claims, reserve analysis, and aggressive action plans to ensure claims are moving toward prompt resolution. We actively work with the carrier to initiate and maintain momentum from the inception of a claim to its “best possible” conclusion. We are persistent and apply knowledge and resources to the stewardship of your claims. We work to prevent claims from festering due to inactivity, which precludes unnecessary increases in your experience modification and your premiums. In addition, we work together to formulate aggressive return-to-work programs and establish effective Medical Provider Networks protocols to mitigate costs throughout the life of the claim.
General Liability Claim Stewardship
A typical day for our steadfast claims department includes contract reviews, claims reporting, policy renewal comparisons, insurance history reviews, negotiations with adjusters and certificate holders, advising all parties, and loss control assistance. We provide the expertise and determined advocacy to work through complicated issues on your behalf.
The results of our involvement are measurable through reduced loss ratios; reduced experience modification, and, ultimately, reduced premiums.
Wooditch Risk Services provides a cost-effective adjunct to your existing safety program. We work with your safety personnel and your current insurance carriers to dovetail with your existing “in-house” loss control efforts. We commit to creating a strong safety team for your company that provides access to all risk control services in your risk management program.
We offer, but will not limit our services to the following:
- Access to The Wooditch Company’s in-house workers’ compensation claims expert. We will steward and negotiate your claims for you, providing a quarterly summary of the results. We are on YOUR side during the claims process, and we do not work for the insurance company; therefore, we provide an expert, independent voice to ensure your workers’ compensation carrier handles claims correctly
- Experience Modification Review: The Wooditch Company will review the experience modifications published by the various state bureaus for accuracy and will work with your staff to correct any inaccuracies. An “inflated” experience modification will directly impact your renewal premiums.
