Employee Injured On the Job?

MD Surgery is Your Solutions

Dealing with an injured worker can be a daunting proposition for any business. There is often so much uncertainty, and a litany of potential problems that could stem from the injuries.  From loss of production, to not knowing how long the process may take or cost, it is often filled with doubt and uncertainty. A self-funded employer often does not understand the nuances of the process, and how to anticipate the level of disability, as well as the costs associated with that level. This leaves them in a less than enviable position, as these answers can often be difficult to find, especially when the more pressing issue of running a company at a high level does not disappear.

The Importance of Worker’s Compensation Impairment Rating

What Businesses Need to Know…MD Surgery Can Help

So, what is the Worker’s Compensation Impairment Rating?
The Worker’s Compensation Impairment Rating is a score issued by an independent physician that evaluates the health of a patient. This is most useful in dealing with claims that are long-term. The score is determined at an Impairment Rating Evaluation and once it is completed, they receive a score on a 100% based scale. This test is only required once a worker has been receiving compensation for 104 weeks. This is useful for cases in which the Maximum Medical Improvement has not left a clear resolution in terms of recovery and compensation related issues. With the easy to understand score that is provided by the rating, companies will know exactly where they stand. When a rating is greater than fifty percent than the worker is entitled to their compensation claim in perpetuity, while a score under fifty percent means that claim is not forever and will last up until a certain amount of time. This can make it easy for a company to financially account for what they are obligated to pay in the future instead of existing in a state of confusion as time progresses. With our network we can handle the entirety of this process for any company, as well as many other services and functions using our extremely convenient bundle payments that alleviate stress and take the concern out of your hands and leaving you knowing exactly where you stand.

Dangers of Over-Reserving

Worker’s Compensation and the Meaning of Over-Reserving

To understand what it means to over-reserve one has to first understand the reserving process associated with the worker’s compensation process. Reserving is a commonly done act in which self-funded organizations anticipates how much the entire process involved with a worker compensation claim is going to cost.  Naturally, over-reserving is when the company places too much money down and that their anticipated costs are lower or even significantly lower. This seems like a relatively minor issue, and one with a simple fix?

The Dangers of Over-Reserving

The worker’s compensation process is a confusing, and arduous one that can leave anyone not highly trained feeling in over their head. Considering most people don’t feel entirely too confident when estimating how much the process will cost it makes sense that they’d lean towards paying too much instead of too little. It is the natural human response when facing such uncertainty. However, this can place stress on a company and cause side-effects that would likely come as a complete surprised to anyone not well-versed in the process. When a company places money down for anticipated costs, it cannot be used for any other purpose. This at its core means the functionality and growth potential of the company can be hamstrung due to unnecessary funds sitting in an account when it could be reinvested into the company’s operations. This may sound like an unbelievably frustrating concept to those simply exercising reasonable caution, but it can be even worse. Premiums paid on the insurance related with these claims will typically be negatively impacted with higher amounts of money placed down in reserve for compensation claims. Meaning, the more you reserve the higher the premium paid on the insurance will be. The worst part is it is very difficult to be able to determine what to pay, and even if you’re currently falling into the trap of over-reserving.
