 1.   How does prompt claim reporting impact claim costs?

For an employee involved in a work-related injury, the worker’s compensation claim system is often viewed as a complex and confusing tangle of rules and regulations. Your employees’ unfamiliarity with the system is compounded by their concern about their financial security, their physical and emotional well being and their ability to return to work. Prompt claim reporting enables SeaBright to quickly establish contact with injured workers, describe the workers’ compensation process and answer their questions. The rapport established between the injured employee and the Claim Examiner leads to a reduction in disputes, a prompt and successful return to work and a general reduction in claim costs. Reduced claim costs ultimately save you money in insurance costs.

2.   I’ve been told that reporting minor accidents and injuries is unnecessary and ultimately leads to an increase in my claims experience and worker’s compensation costs. Is this true?

A company’s “experience modifier” is driven by both the cost and frequency of claims. As a general rule, SeaBright recommends that you report any injury that goes beyond first aid. Reporting these claims, provides SeaBright with a record of the case should the injury require further medical care and claims management down the road.  (Please note that some states have specific accident reporting guidelines. Contact your local SeaBright claim office if you have questions.)

3.     We administer our “medical only” claims in house, including the payment of related medical treatment. Is there any disadvantage to this approach?

Yes. Medical only claims handled internally do not benefit from the significant savings associated with Medical Bill Review or Preferred Provider Networks. Delayed reporting also compromises our ability to build a rapport with the injured worker and manage the claim.

4.     I understand the value of prompt reporting. However, is there an alternative to traditional reporting mechanisms such as the U.S. mail?

Yes, there are a number of alternatives available with SeaBright: In the policyholder services section there is information on Convenient Claim Reporting (including the interactive / email-able forms)

One of the most triumphant stages in an injured employee’s recovery is the injured worker’s successful return to work. With your release of an injured employee to modified duty, SeaBright helps employers identify and utilize suitable transitional employment.

The Ready Return Program Options:

1. Employer Modified Duty Program: Many employers maintain a modified duty plan or program that provides transitional work that meets the injured employees physical capabilities within their organization.

2. Bridge Jobs: These are job assignments that an employer may use to create a job position for the injured worker that is meaningful employment for the employee and beneficial to the employer. These jobs provide a progressive bridge between modified duty and full duty physical requirements.

3. Charity Jobs: In partnership with Transitional Work Solutions (TWS), SeaBright can match injured workers with non-profit organizations in suitable, light-duty roles that entail tasks such as filing, greeting guests or data entry.

These Ready Return Program options offer numerous benefits to both employees and employers.
