Employers Can Get Free "Quick Check" of Their Workers' Comp Practices at www.ReduceYourWorkersComp.com From Amaxx Risk Solutions
| Source: Amaxx
HARTFORD, CT--(Marketwire - May 15, 2009) - Employers can now get a quick readout on how
their workers' compensation procedures stack up against best practices at
www.ReduceYourWorkersComp.com.
The free quick-check is based on 10 key questions that cover management
commitment, claims administration, post-injury response, return to work,
cost containment, and fraud detection. Employers get an immediate score
from 1 to 100 and recommendations for improvement.
For instance, employers that don't physically review workers' comp claim
files get this recommendation: "If you aren't reviewing your files on a
regular basis, they may not be handled as aggressively as necessary to
reduce your workers' comp costs. Even though you may review your claims
telephonically, it's good to have on-site reviews periodically to get the
best quality claims handling."
The quick-check is available via the homepage
www.ReduceYourWorkersComp.com. Optionally, it can be private-labeled and
customized for associations, organizations, brokers and insurance
companies.
The Workers' Comp Quick
Check™ is part of Amaxx Risk Solutions'
online Workers'
Compensation Injury Management Tool Kit®, based on decades of
successful workers' comp cost-techniques proven to cut costs 20 percent to
50 percent. It is based on that same concepts found in the 2009 RIMS®
Benchmarking Survey™, which includes workers' compensation best
practices for the first time.
Full score available
The Workers' Comp Quick
Check gives employers a rough estimate of their National Workers'
Compensation Management Score™ (NWCMS), which is a comprehensive
assessment of a company's operational best practices. Also developed by
Amaxx, the NWCMS is quickly becoming the industry standard for determining
how well a company is managing workers' comp practices.
The NWCMS can be purchased through RIMS® at http://www.RIMS.org/wc, where
RIMS members get a 25% discount, or through Advisen at
http://corner.advisen.com/wc. More information can be obtained by calling
Advisen's Merri Bastone at 212-897-4800.
