I have in a roundabout way over the last few weeks covered a few of the secrets (that are not so secret) to cutting your company’s Workers Comp costs.

The five are:

  1. Timely reporting of the injury to the insurance carrier/TPA – The carrier or TPA cannot begin a timely investigation without the First Report of Injury 
  2. Medical network in place – where will your injured employees treat for their injuries?
  3. Return to work plans for an injured employee – a big premium saver if you have a RTW program.
  4. How the employee is treated by the employer – they are still your employee
  5. Understanding Your Premium Audit – review it and ask questions when you receive the premium audit bill.

If you look over the last few posts, the first three have been covered. I will cover #5 – Understanding Your Premium Audit in the next post or two.

#5 was added after considering that the final part of the policy process is a premium audit.   Your premium audit can be thought of as the final bill for your policy.  There will be quite a few upcoming articles on premium audit.

A Sixth Key will be added to the list in the future.  I have two different secrets or keys that I am considering adding to the list.   Both could be added  to the list.  However, I will likely stop at Six instead of Five Secrets.

Update – The Sixth Key has been added to the original five.  Please check here for the Six Keys.
