With the 30 June renewal season now over many of our clients have had an opportunity to reflect on the performance of their claims management over the course of the year. Upon reflection, many employers have recognised that unbeknownst to them they were caught out with escalating premiums.  Forensic review determined that this is a result of injured workers being certified unfit for work, partially unfit for work and in one case where there was a reported deficit in work hours when this wasn’t actually the case.

As a result of this we are urging you to review your workers compensation claims estimates current and past to establish whether there are any anomalies with respect to your claims management performance. Actevate would like to assist you in doing this so that you don’t find yourself caught up in a battle  with your workers compensation insurer at the time of your workers compensation renewal. In a more recent example one of our employer clients was lumped with a $45,000 increase in premiums they were unaware of due to a claims estimate for a claim they believe was closed months before.
