• There are multiple ways to report a claim to Work First.  When Akos is utilized, they will report the findings to us the same day.  Through the process, you will then have all of the information to then report the claim to us.  Then you can log into our proprietary claims management system, Intersect, to fill out the first report.  If that option isn’t convenient, you can call, email or fax in the first report of injury.

We have a unique role on our claims team called a Rapid Recovery Facilitator.  This team member dives into the claim immediately after the first report of injury is received with the sole purpose of assisting you to get that injured employee back to work within the state-mandated waiting period.  Keeping claims classified as medical-only, and managing the claim before the employee would experience loss time, reduces the probability of negatively impacting the insured’s experience modifier.  This aggressive style of claims management has reduced the number of indemnity claims by 10% and temporary disability days by 15%.  Furthermore, this team member is also a certified wellness coach.

We do!  We stay in close contact with our insureds throughout their policy term.  In this program, the insured would report actual payrolls on a monthly basis.  We would then bill the insured for the month prior.  This has a direct impact on and leads to a no-effort audit at the end of the policy’s term.  When insureds participate in this program (and most do), they have an audit variance of less than 2%.
