2 – Reviewing, in detail, the most currently valued loss runs provided by the insurance carrier on a regular basis to ensure proper paid & reserved amounts.

3 – Coordinating unit-stat meetings between carrier, insured, & PDI to discuss claims activity & paid/reserve amounts affecting the unit stat filing.

4 – Assisting/Guiding your company with questions and/or concerns regarding workers’ compensation claims, reporting procedures, etc…

5 – Working closely w/ your company with respects to any questionable or red flag claims.

In order to commence monitoring of any new “reportable” claims, we request that your company fax a copy of the Employer’s First Report of Injury or Occupational Illness to our office. Please note that you must still report the injury to your carrier within 5 days of the claim being reported to your company.
