| COURSE DESCRIPTION: Workers’ compensation … you have to pay it, the costs are skyrocketing and you have very little control over the process. That’s a frustrating reality for CFOs and Controllers like you who make it your business to verify facts, reconcile expenses and make sure company dollars are spent wisely.
To make matters worse, every time your premium comes due, you have the feeling you’re paying more than you should … but you’re not exactly sure why. And you can’t get the answers you need because insurance companies or state-level bureaucrats don’t exactly make it easy for you to examine the details.
The good news is you don’t have to feel powerless when it comes to controlling workers comp cost. Whether your company is insured with a loss sensitive program or you’re self-insured, you CAN take action to be sure you’re not paying more than you have to. Your secret weapon: A thorough audit of your workers’ comp claims.
In this program you’ll learn how to get it done. Workers’ compensation expert Doug McCoy will give you a step-by-step roadmap to conduct an audit of your workers’ compensation situation. This audio conference will address:
- How to tell if your carrier or third-party administrator is paying claims that should be denied
- What to do when you suspect a fraudulent claim has been filed
- Guidance to help you recover some of the money you have paid in claims
- How to be sure your estimates, experience rating and rating group are accurate … and that simple clerical errors aren’t unfairly penalizing your organization
