Audits
Corporate Risk Solutions will monitor and evaluate your claims,
adjusting your company’s performance through a quality control
audit. Ideally, these audits are anticipatory and preventative in
dealing with identified problems.
Reserve Reviews
Reserving is the key to any successful operation. Reserves are sums
of money set aside to cover future obligations and liability. Many
third party administrators and insurers reserve for injury exposures
without factoring in the need for liability reserves. Corporate Risk
Solutions reviews reserves and negotiates reductions as appropriate.
Best Practice Reviews
We know (1) what to look for, (2) how to probe deeply into claims
practices, and (3) methods of comparing one claims operation to
another.
Third Party Selection
We help you examine cost considerations and service options when
choosing a third party administrator.
Settlement Evaluation
Most cases are settled and do not go to trial. We provide oversight
and work with the claims adjusting service to move cases toward
early resolution, with inexpensive settlements. We are experienced
in structuring settlements and exploring alternative dispute
resolution options.
We work with the claims handler to:
- Explore settlements at early stages
- Simplify decisions for necessary discovery
- Prepare for trial
- Find and use expert witnesses
- Litigation Management
We set guidelines for the claims handlers to do as much
investigation
and early planning as possible. We provide support and collaborate
on the investigation strategy settlement and strategy. We check to
see that the claim representative develops a plan of action and
budget in the litigation process.
Subrogation/Second Injury Reviews
Subrogation is the transfer of the legal right of recovery. Second
injury funds exist in most states, that allow reimbursement of some
expenses incurred for workers’ compensation claims. We review your
claim to ensure that the claim representative pursues recovery when
available.
Training
No claims service provider can manage claims effectively without
your company’s interest and involvement. We customize training
seminars to educate your employees on what they can do to help
control claim costs.
Our training seminars include:
- Claim reporting procedures
- Overview of state laws that impact a claim
- Return to work programs
- Selecting a medical provider
- Successful accident investigation key items
- Loss Control Integration
Paying claims does not need to mean losing money. Our claims
department is often the first to recognize problems within your
organization because we are listening to your employees on a daily
basis. We provide loss control services with feedback on trends we
observe, and we provide common sense remedies to prevent similar
claims from happening.
