Request a Certificate

A certificate of Benefit Coverage is generally accepted as proof of Benefit Coverage. It is commonplace in many industries, especially service and construction, for one business to require a Certificate of Benefit Coverage from another business prior to having any subcontract work performed.

A workers’ compensation Certificate is issued to the Certificate Holder to provide evidence of current coverage. This protects the Certificate Holder from having to pay additional premium for your coverage on their own policy during an audit. If a policy is terminated prior to its expiration date, the benefit agency who issued the Certificate of Benefit Coverage will notify the Certificate Holders of the policy termination.

Claims Review

The Claims Review process is both an internal and external process.

  • Internally we are continuously collecting data that will help us analyze your policy.
  • Externally this data will be used to pin point the areas of your workers comp program that need attention.

There are mainly four variables that come into account in the process of a Claims Review.

  • Workers Comp Classification Code
  • Total incurred amount per claim
  • Deductible amount
  • Status of the claim (Open or Closed)

Claims that are consistently lower than the deductible may lead to better rates discounts or credits that apply to the renewal of the policy.
