WORKERS COMPENSATION CLAIMS MANAGEMENT
ICA’s Workers’ Compensation Claims Management Service helps to establish properly directed, managed and controlled medical cost management and back-to-work programs. In doing so, this service is intended to focus on reducing the cost of the Workers Compensation program, boost the employer’s bottom line and improve employee morale. The ultimate goal of this service is to develop the protocols and procedures so that the Client has no such thing as a lost-time accident.
Excessive Workers’ Compensation insurance cost is the result of higher than normal rates of work-related injury, both in terms of severity and frequency and the consequent medical and lost time costs. This high frequency of claims in turn impacts the experience modification factor as well. Within the parameters of the law, the employer can and should take charge of managing an employee who has suffered a job-related injury.
