Self-Insured Workers' Compensation
Program Design & Management
Businesses joining together to form a workers compensation Self-Insured Group (SIG) are looking to control their operating expenses by paying only for the actual costs of claims, not insurance premiums that often increase regardless of business performance. Working with an actuary, self-insured groups develop an underwriting plan to collect funds needed for projected claims and expenses, and design cost containment programs to minimize risk to members. The Joint and Several agreement is the legal document that binds the group, in order to share the burden of workers compensation insurance costs, and the financial benefits that come with proper group administration.
With this level of control comes a commensurate responsibility to maintain high safety standards and admit only prospective members with excellent workers comp histories. Individual members must remain focused on minimizing accidents in the workplace and bringing claims to a satisfactory close as quickly as possible.
