Workers’ Comp Premium

Workers' compensation insurance is a significant business expense for companies. It is also complicated, as demonstrated by the intricate nature of this coverage for employers. In certain states, there are over 700 approved classification codes to choose from, yet the interpretations of classifications vary from state to state. Excessive charges are often incurred by businesses due to the lack of knowledge of these codes, as they cannot be certain of all the rules and regulations that govern them. Seven out of ten companies in our experience have paid too much for their policies and may still be paying too much today. This is true regardless of the agent, broker, agency, or insurance company involved. Constant alterations in the industry that include rules for rating agencies, regulatory changes, policy adjustments, and the application of incorrect rates, discounts, classifications, experience modification calculations, erroneous payroll and audits are beyond a typical agents scope. Overcharging can go unnoticed, as many business owners are not aware of it until an independent review is conducted. The fact that overpayments can be recovered from previously issued policies is generally unknown. Although additionally complicated we go back as far as seven years to recoup the greatest possible refund.

The issue or problem that employers are facing today is the rising costs of employee health benefits.
