Prompt Claims Reporting

REPORT CLAIMS PROMPTLY AND SAVE FROM THE START
The easiest way to keep your claim cost as low as possible is through
proactive claims management. According to an NCCI study on lag time,
injuries reported during:
Week two after the date of the accident cost an average of 18 percent more than those reported during week one.
Weeks three and four average a 30 percent greater cost!
After four weeks, costs increase 45 percent!
And the injuries most susceptible to lag-time cost increases?
Back injuries – they average 35 percent higher costs when reported after the first week.

The first step to controlling your claim cost is as easy as reporting claims quickly.
