At the end of the last decade, most companies weren't focusing on changing their Workers Compensation programs. Prices had been decreasing or were flat for many years, and coverage was easy to come by. Now the Workers Compensation market is beginning to ... . Risk managers will see the following underwriting trends during the next few years: Trend 1: The market appears to be shifting. During the 1990s Workers Compensation pricing conditions were the softest that almost anyone can remember. The popularity of guaranteed cost programs exploded, and many risk managers were able to remove liabilities from their balance sheets at attractive prices. Now there are indications that the market is firming. The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) reported an industry pure loss ratio of 71.2 % for the third quarter of 1999, compared to 59.1 % in 1997.

Appropriate claims handling can easily reduce payouts and an entity's losses by 20% -50% . In this article, Monte Gale provides an adjuster's guide to controlling a loss once it's submitted. Although claims reviews generally focus on the lowest possible payout ... cost-effective results, in my experience as an underwriter and broker, the effectiveness of the claims handling process receives too little attention. The overriding concern should be handling the claim as effectively as possible to reduce expenses and the final payout. We see warning signs of inappropriate claims handling. For example, the fact that an estimated 20% of claims are fraudulent means that the adjusting diary should reflect an inquiry, fact finding, and an investigation of witnesses and/or the claimant. It's no surprise to learn that case management reviews are being conducted on non-compensable claims — a protocol problem that can add 15% -20% to the total payout of the claim.

Every state battles fraud and abuse of its Workers Comp system. An honest company that properly uses Workers Comp to protect its employees and keeps its premises safe might face a rising premium because other firms, employees, and medical services have no compunction about cheating the system. Fraud Workers Comp fraud involves such criminal acts as workers falsifying claims, employers mis-classifying high-risk workers with less dangerous jobs to lower their premiums, and physicians exaggerating injuries and their ... and over billing insurance companies for expensive services never rendered. Fraud has led to desperate legislation simplifying the prosecution of offenders. California's court of appeals just started providing insurance companies with immunity from lawsuits if they report Workers Comp violators to the state. However, California insurance companies tread cautiously because a wrongfully accused firm does have legal recourse after a false report or misleading statement. Abuse Unlike fraud, Workers Comp abuse isn't a felony, although it too increases premiums for everybody.
