Workers' Compensation Claims Management Solution for Insurers

Digital Transformation Should Be Top of Mind for Workers' Compensation Claims Managers

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Workers’ compensation, commonly referred to as “workers’ comp,” is a government-mandated program that provides cash benefits, healthcare benefits, or both to workers who suffer injury or illness as a direct result of their jobs.

According to AIG (American International Group), Chubb Ltd., and Travelers Companies Inc., employers in the United States paid more than $62 billion in workers’ compensation claims in 2021. Approximately $30 billion of that amount went to compensating lost wages, and the remaining (nearly $2 billion) paid for the injured worker’s medical care.

Key Challenges for Workers' Compensation Insurers

Compliance Across Multiple States

In the U.S., workers’ compensation is handled primarily by the individual states and the required benefits vary greatly state by state. If you are handling claims across multiple states, you need to make sure that your adjusters accurately apply the regulations and required benefits of each individual state.

Efficient and Accurate Medical Bill Adjudication

Whether you outsource the adjudication of medical bills or processes them in house, it’s critical for your claims system to function as the financial source of truth for all claims-related payments.

HR Systems Integration

Once the initial report of a workers’ compensation claim is filed, all employee indicative information must be acquired and transcribed from the insured’s HR system into the claims system. Not only is this time consuming and prone to human entry errors, but it also exposes the company to risk of potential employee privacy breaches.

Omnichannel Communications

Your policyholders expect real-time communication across multiple channels (text, email, chat, phone, video) – corresponding just by snail mail or even email is no longer an option.  Unfortunately, most claims insurance technology is outdated and does not support omnichannel communications, leading to frustrated customers and unhappy adjusters.
