August 22, 2013 – Excerpt from Business Insurance Website:

Experts say that employer involvement in managing workers compensation claims is essential for obtaining the best outcomes. But the range of employer involvement varies widely with some companies turning all claims management functions, including the selection of managed care services, over to their third party administrator. Other employers remain very engaged, actively managing their TPA services and even unbundling the managed care products they purchase from their TPA services contracts. Our panel of highly-experienced experts will discuss these strategies and the measures they see working best for effective claims management and cost reduction.
