Saving Millions On Your Workers Compensation Insurance

A workers compensation bill is made up of controllable and non controllable costs. Your controllable cost is made up of your Experience Modifier (EM). This EM is applied directly to your bill as a debit or credit. It is this controllable cost where you can save million’s of dollars annually.

Let’s look at a recent case study.

Prior to our recent engagement our prospect had an EM of 200%. Their total workers compensation premium was $1,000,000.

Through a free analysis we helped the prospect establish that their lowest possible EM would be 65%. The client however felt that they would still have a few claims given the nature of their industry. Therefore, the client elected to establish a target result of 85% from their EM.

During the next 4 years, our firm helped the client design, implement, and monitor a program that took their EM from 200% to their new goal of 85%. The client hit their target EM at the end of the 4th year, and saw a reduction in workers compensation costs of $575,000 per year. The company was sold in the 5th year, and a significant return on investment was yielded from the sale in part from the bottom line impact of the new workers compensation plan.
