... to reclassify contractors as employees and seek unpaid taxes. The government estimates that as many as 3.4 million workers are misclassified, costing the federal government $4.5 billion and states over $3 billion. With mind-boggling deficits, this is likely to remain a focal point in the years ahead. 8. Medicare Set-Aside Arrangements Baffling Many. All parties in a Workers Compensation case have significant responsibilities under the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) laws. The process is complex and confusing and has been a minefield for the parties involved. The recommended method is a Workers Compensation Medicare Set-Aside Arrangement (WCMSA), which allocates a portion of the Workers Compensation settlement for future medical expenses. Failure to give notice of a settlement to Medicare carries steep penalties. Medicare is also prohibited from making payments that are the responsibility ... the recession has made it difficult for some to place injured workers in transitional positions when the company is laying others off. In other cases, injured workers have returned to transitional jobs, only to be laid off for reasons unrelated to the injury. Faced with few job prospects, the employees have little incentive to get well.

A plan is formulated to load the information into the system (possibly by downloading from the agency's carriers) and to provide for continuous real-time updating. The loaded data is verified regularly for completeness and accuracy. Paper files are relegated to secondary storage (drop or transactional filing), as the daily electronic retrieval model becomes the primary source of information. As a result, files are never lost. CSRs or claims staff make immediate coverage determinations with the customer on the phone in real time, thus providing the desired stellar service. That's Just the Beginning Automated claims service offers several other benefits in boosting productivity and efficiency: Since all ... growth. Before examining outside sources of prospects, let's take a look at a set of prospects that too many agencies ignore - current clients. A fully loaded A/ISystem provides almost unlimited prospects at CSRs' and producers' fingertips. Every client is a prospect for cross-selling and coverage upgrades. From Homeowners without Auto, to Packages without Umbrellas, to Life without Disability, to Health without Nursing Home coverage - from employees of Commercial clients, to claimants - everyone can be cross sold. Anyone you know anything about (and you should know a great deal about everyone in your A/ISystem) can and should be a prospect for some type of coverage or service. All you have to do is decide who they are and what you want to sell them. As we've all been ...
