fighting fraud
Review each claim separately.
Become involved with the reporting procedures utilized by your workers’ compensation insurance carrier and interview the injured employee yourself, if at all possible, to ensure you know exactly what happened.
Review each notice of injury, regardless of severity, to identify problem areas.
Once identified, these injury-causing factors should be corrected or modified in order to reduce the likelihood of future claims. Employee education programs should be required in situations where the characteristics of the company's physical plant or the procedures utilized in the daily operations of a business cannot be altered.
Require routine drug testing at the time an employee is injured.
This testing can easily be made part of the routine medical exam which is performed after an injury is reported. These test results provide the employer with a sorely needed advantage when dealing with an employee who reports to work in an impaired condition.
Require routine pre-employment drug testing.
The benefits of this procedure are well-documented. Although it represents an additional cost associated with the employment process, the savings and long-term benefits are substantial and have been validated in the workplace. The cost should be viewed as an investment rather than an expense.
Require all new employees to complete a thorough, personal profile during the pre-employment screening process.
An honest, credible job applicant will not hesitate to provide this information. This profile should include the following:
-
Basic personal information (name, address, social security number, date of birth, etc.);
-
The prospective employee's actual physical address as well as his mailing address;
-
A complete medical history;
-
A complete claims history (this can be verified by the employer's workers’ compensation carrier);
-
A clear copy of the prospective employee's driver's license;
-
A list of all former addresses for the past ten years; and
-
The name of his family doctor or the last physician who treated him.
Tips for Keeping
Claim Costs Low
Timely Reporting of Information
From initially reporting the claim to the reporting of all recommended treatment and diagnostic tests to the authorization and payment of bills directly, timely communication is crucial to helping keep claim costs low.
Providing Light-Duty Work
Once an injured employee has been cleared to return to duty, working with us to offer modified duty work as early as possible will reduce the length of time the claim stays open and overall claim costs – both in indemnity and medical costs.
Use of the Second Injury Fund
The Louisiana Second Injury Fund encourages the hiring of individuals who have a permanent, partial disability. In return, if an employee has a subsequent injury which merges with the pre-existing condition to cause a greater disability than what would have resulted from the subsequent injury alone, the employer/insurer will be limited in the amount they are required to pay for the new claim.
