Some of the procedures and processes may have changed due to Relation revisions, carrier requirements,client requirements and the ever-changing rules and statutes of the state of Florida, and other internal and external influences. This document is a"living document",to be considered a work in progress 23 i t t t r The following guidelines have been established to assure that an efficient and effective program is maintained throughout the entire claims process. In addition to these guidelines, Relation has implemented a comprehensive internal claims system that unfolds the details of each one of the following sections. Mail Process: Mail is delivered by the US Postal Service to the front desk during regular business hours. The administrative assistant receives the mail and signs all certified mail. The mail room clerk performs the following functions: • Picks up mail at the front desk • Separates legal, medical, First Report Injuries, and miscellaneous mail • All documents are scanned into image right and indexed to the specific files. • All medical bills are scanned to an FTP site where Service First (S1) our billing company retrieves and processes for payment. Claim Process: The First Report of Injury(FROI) is received via email. The FROI's are emailed to FLWCNOTICE@RELATIONINS.COM, once emailed to this address it is imported into Image Right and assigned to the correct adjuster automatically based on the subject with the employer's code. The adjusters initially review all First Reports of Injury. If additional support is needed, the adjuster will involve other claim professionals in the review. Once approved, the FROI is tasked to an individual designated to open claims: • Sets up the claim in Assure Claims • Assigns claim to the designated adjuster in Assure Claims and Image Right • Creates, attaches and prints the following documents: o Introduction letter o Fraud statement letter o Employee Notification Letter o Authorization to furnish medical records o Reimbursement mileage form • Mails out the documents along with the employee brochure and a self- stamped envelope • Documents date mailed in the Assure Claims claim notes and in Image Right. 24 • Once the claim is open a task is generated for a three-point contact to be completed. A claim file is then established, including a diary to allow the WC adjuster to make the initial temporary disability payment within fourteen days of the date disability begins and to file the proper EDI filings with the state. If it has already been ascertained that the disability will exceed the waiting period,disability payments are inputted, or claim is placed on a diary to ensure timely payment and EDI filings. Initial and Continuing Contact The adjusters will contact the injured worker shortly after having knowledge of the accident where disability will be longer than seven days. The adjuster will continue to remain in constant communication with the injured worker and be in position to answer any questions the employee may have. The adjusters will also closely monitor the injured worker's satisfaction with medical treatment. This early contact provides additional control over the claim and allows the WC adjusters to accumulate important information that will be useful for claim management purposes. If disability continues,the WC adjusters will contact the employee at least every two to three weeks to verify the employee's condition, to determine if modified duty can be arranged, and to maintain rapport with the employee. In addition, if disability continues, the WC adjusters will contact the appropriate client department manager to investigate the availability of modified duty. The authorized attending physician(s) are also contacted frequently to verify disability. Temporary disability benefits are not to be paid without disability verification. All conversations with the injured employee, management personnel, and/or medical providers are documented within the claim file, either in writing or by entering the information into Relation's claim processing system. Invetiation Investigation of a claim is initiated at the time of the initial contact as described above. Comprehensive investigations are performed when there is questionable compensability, severe or catastrophic injuries and/or complicated by personal health conditions or non-work injuries, and severe injuries and/or injuries where disability in excess of 30 days is anticipated. Written or recorded statements are taken of injured employees, witnesses, and management personnel in these situations. In addition, the WC adjuster has the discretion to require a statement in other circumstances as warranted. Certain injuries require a written or recorded statement. These include spinal cord injuries, severe burns, fatalities, and loss of limb. They are also taken for questionable claims, such as un-witnessed accidents and claims reported in excess 25 of 24 hours after an accident. Recorded statements should contain all information necessary to support the claim actions. General facts such as the date and time of the interview and the employee's information is to be taken, as well as all relevant information related to the accident (e.g., witnesses). In addition, medical care information, physician contact information and related items are captured in the statement. In ernnity Benefit Pa meat As noted, the initial disability benefit shall be paid within 14 days of the date disability begins. The medical provider shall be contacted prior to the payment of indemnity benefits to verify continuing temporary disability. Subsequent disability payments will be made at intervals required by law and scheduled by use of a diary to ensure timely payments. File Documentation The file should contain documentation of all actions taken, including: written or recorded statements, conversations with the injured employee, employer, witnesses, medical providers, attorneys,or other summaries of conversations and opinions/conclusions drawn,documentation by supervisory adjuster that would be useful references for future actions. Medical Care and Authorization Medical treatment to the injured worker is authorized by the adjuster upon determination of "medical necessity." Diagnostic treatment will be authorized, if necessary, to determine if an injured worker's complaints are related to the industrial accident. Chiropractic services cannot exceed twenty-four treatments or cannot be rendered twelve weeks beyond the date of the initial chiropractic care, whichever comes first, unless under special circumstances deemed appropriate by the adjuster/supervisor or in catastrophic cases. Requests for a one time change to another doctor will be responded to within 5 days from receipt of the request. Referrals to other doctors will be authorized within 3 days from receipt of request for referral. The DWC-25 and authorization process is as follows: • DWC-25 are received from providers by fax or e-mail • Adjusters and/or nurse case managers fax or e-mail the DWC-25 to the employer • DWC-25 is reviewed by the adjusters and/or nurse case managers • Authorization is provided for medical benefits that are compensable and medically necessary such as: o Remedial treatment o Attendant care o Medicines 26 o Medical supplies o Durable equipment o Orthoses, prostheses and other apparatus o Work-hardening programs o Pain management programs o Chiropractic services not to exceed 24 treatments or rendered 12 weeks beyond the dated of the initial chiropractic treatment, whichever comes first As stated above authorization is provided for diagnostic testing. Referrals are responded to by the close of the third business day after receipt of request. The adjusters and/or nurse case managers document receipt of DWC-25 and response to the requested received for medical benefits in the Assure Claims claim notes. Medical Treatment and Control The WC adjuster will ensure that the Employer takes full advantage of its privilege in selection of medical providers.The physician providing treatment must be a "certified health care provider". The health care provider must be a licensed medical doctor, osteopathic, chiropractic, podiatric physician, optometrist, or dentist. The adjusters and/or nurse case managers will not authorize experimental, investigative, or research treatment. Diagnostic testing will be authorized when the original purpose is to determine if the injured employee's complaints are related to the industrial accident. If diagnostic testing ultimately shows an unrelated medical condition, treatment for the unrelated condition will not be authorized, except in exceptional circumstances that will need to be discussed and authorized by the client and claims manager. Chiropractic services cannot exceed twenty-four treatments or cannot be rendered twelve weeks beyond the date of the initial chiropractic care, whichever comes first, unless authorized by the client or the employee is catastrophically injured. The adjuster will authorize generic or generic equivalent medications unless brand named is medically necessary. The injured employee may choose his own pharmacy. S1 provides for mail order medications to be delivered directly to the injured employees at a significant savings and the adjusters should take advantage of this service whenever feasible. The adjusters will respond within 5 days of the receipt of the request by the injured employee for a one time change in physicians. Referrals are authorized by the adjusters within 3 day upon receipt. Medical information is requested from the medical provider(s) when the claim is initially established, and medical reports are requested after each subsequent treatment. If the medical provider's report is unavailable at the time a scheduled indemnity payment is required, the WC adjuster shall call the medical provider to verify that disability is continuing. Additionally, physician(s) will be informed of the availability of modified duty and asked to provide detailed information concerning the employee's capabilities. 27 inability ar�aerner�t Disability management involves many of the points already addressed, including sustained contact with the employee, the employer/supervisor, and the medical provider. In addition, utilization of the appropriate physicians, including specialists, second opinions (when feasible) and Independent Medical Evaluations provide greater control over and knowledge about the claim and its probable eventual outcome. The proper use of in-house Telephonic Nurse Case Managers may also be implemented if complicated medical issues arise, compensability issues arise due to pre-existing conditions or the employee's inability to return to his/her regularjob in a timely manner and/or if a permanent modification is required. If an independent rehabilitation vendor is utilized, the vendor should provide the following details: • Specific rehabilitation steps recommended, including referrals to other providers • Assistance in modification of position to accommodate restrictions and/or changing capabilities; • Anticipated time span of rehabilitation efforts; • Estimated rehabilitation costs; • Recovery of rehabilitation costs under appropriate state programs; • The timing and substance of rehabilitation reports. Medical Cost Containment Medical bills are reviewed for adherence to applicable fee schedules and/or reasonable and necessary guidelines. Medical charges are audited for hospital charges in excess of $5,000.00, that do not include charges for an implant, treatment for conditions other than those caused by the on-the-job injury or any back related injuries. Other medical charges may also require an audit. The claims manager will determine when those circumstances exist and will act accordingly. Individual Case Reserves For financial reporting and claim control purposes individual case reserves are estimated for all claims. Within 72 hours of receiving the First Report of Injury, the WC adjuster will establish an initial case reserve. The reserve should at any given time express the adjuster's best estimate of the ultimate value of the claim at the time it will be closed, including indemnity, medical, rehabilitation, and expense costs on a completed worksheet to be retained in the file. Reserves will be reviewed every 90 days, at a minimum,to ensure that appropriate reserves have been established. If necessary, reserves will be increased or decreased whenever the adjuster becomes aware of a change in the claim status that has a probable impact on the ultimate cost of the claim. Reserve worksheets are used at the time the initial reserve estimate is established 28 and at each subsequent review. This will ensure that all components of the claim are reviewed. Litigation anagernent If possible, litigation should be avoided. However, the presence of compensability issues and other issues sometimes require determination by the commission and/or court. If litigation is required,the WC adjuster and/or claims managerwill complete all investigations and provide the pertinent file materials to the defense attorney. The attorney should not perform any investigations that can be performed by the adjuster or another claim professional. The WC adjuster will discuss with the defense attorney the steps necessary on the case and caution not to exceed the specific instructions. Settlement The WC adjuster and/or claims manager will manage the claim to ensure that information concerning maximum medical improvement (MMI) and the appropriate permanent impairment ratings are received from the physician(s) at the earliest possible point. This will help avoid unnecessary temporary disability benefits. Upon receipt of the rating information, the adjuster will evaluate the claim relative to the impairment and/or restrictions pertinent to the evaluation, as well as the statutory requirements and case law if necessary. The adjuster will then submit written proposals to the client for review and approval prior to contact with the employee and/or the employee's attorney. Once approval is obtained, the settlement will be promptly offered. Upon settlement of the case, the appropriate hearing will be scheduled promptly so that the agreement may be consummated without delay. Potential Recoveries The adjusters actively pursue recoveries from other parties.These include subrogation recoveries from responsible third parties and recoveries from Excess Insurance Carrier(s). When it comes to subrogation, the adjusters will actively pursue all cases involving potential recoveries from responsible third parties. All First Reports are reviewed for subrogation possibilities. Potential subrogation cases will then be promptly investigated to evaluate the facts of the accident. If a third party is found to be responsible, a notice letter will be sent. If the injured employee is represented, his/her attorney should also be informed of the subrogation lien. Proof of damages will be documented and should be presented to the responsible third party and/or the third party's insurer when requested. If the third party ignores the notice letter or refuses to acknowledge responsibility, referral to an attorney will be considered. If an attorney 29 represents the injured employee, the adjuster will consider using that attorney if in the best interest of the client. Settlement offers for less than the full statutory recovery must be discussed with the client prior to acceptance. In the case of the Special Disability Trust Fund, the adjuster pursues SDF recoveries and ensures that the file contains documentation of consideration of the SDTF and provides documentation of the information gathered to apply for SDTF relief. This includes, but is not limited to the following: • Investigations including statements, indicating the presence of pre-existing disability and/or applicable health conditions; • Medical evidence substantiating this disability; • Appropriate personnel records and/or affidavits indicating the employer's knowledge of the previous disability and/or the employer's accommodation to meet restrictions imposed by this pre-existing disability. Finally, in the case of excess carrier coverage, the carrier must be notified at the appropriate trigger point and required documentation must be submitted on a timely basis. The adjuster will review reports designed to capture information relative to potential excess claims, including "Large Loss" Reports and other reports designed to display specific injuries and/or conditions for which the excess carrier(s) require reports. Relation has a designated senior adjuster as the excess adjuster that will monitor and request recovery from the excess carriers if the retention is exceeded. Additional euirernent The WC Adjuster may provide a narrative report to the client whenever the total incurred costs of a claim exceed a certain amount or based on the circumstances of the case. This report shall include the following: • A brief description of the accident • A summary of the status of the claim, including a description of the steps that are being taken to resolve the claim • The success of recent efforts to resolve the claim • A timetable for resolution of the claim, and the adjuster's estimate of potential future settlements • The basis for these recommendations The approval of the client is also required for the utilization of any independent contractor, including but not limited to rehabilitation counselors, private investigators, defense attorneys, independent adjusters, and experts required for expert testimony. 30 Relation's goal is to deliver outstanding value to our clients and business partners. This is accomplished through the application of advanced technology in claims administration, experienced staff, operational flexibility, innovation and implementation of performance controls that deliver quality service and eliminate the exposure of fines and penalties. The following is an outline of the controls that have been implemented in every facet of the Workers' Compensation Dept. to ensure timely and accurate processing of claims, indemnity/medical payments and required EDI filling for medical and non-medical. Non-Medical I- 3 Filings Relation is currently R3 compliant with the states Electronic Data Interchange. Our go live date was November 17, 2008. We are above state average on all state accepted filings and below the state average on all state rejections. Relation has implemented the following control to ensure the proper handling and timely filing of state required information: Relation has a designated experienced EDI Coordinator to perform the following tasks that will ensure accurate and timely acceptance of non-medical EDI filings by the state, thus avoiding fines: • Daily monitors the state EDI warehouse and responds to all state inquires. • Daily monitors our EDI vendor, who performs data validation according to the state requirements. • Daily updates and monitors the EDI spreadsheet which reflects all the adjusters' EDI-R3 filings. • Responds to daily adjuster requests and questions. • Adjusters' meetings are held to educate and ensure proper compliance with EDI requirements. • Contacts the state,vendors and other Assure Claims users to resolve questions and issues regarding EDI filings. • Coordinate with IT to test new Assure Claims EDI updates before loading into production data. • Continues to keep updated on the state EDI-R3 changes. • Helps monitor EDI vendor's billing ensuring proper billing for services rendered. • Keeps supervisors informed of EDI progress and performs individual training as needed with adjusters. 31 An EDI report which reflects the status of all EDI filings is run on a regular basis by the adjusters, EDI Coordinator and Claims Manager to ensure all EDI filing have been accepted by the state. eceit, payrner�t are l filing of rnedical bills The Florida Workers' Compensation Law requires all payments be made (mailed) within 45-days of receipt. Additionally, medical bills must be electronically submitted to the Dept. of Financial Services within 45 days of the Insurer's disposition (payment, disallowance, denial) of the bill. The Dept. of Financial Services will assess fines and/or penalties if bills are not paid, filed and accepted timely. Hence, Relation has implemented the following controls: • Incoming bills are scanned to S1 Medical daily to their ftp site • Adjusters review bills daily and approve in S1's bill review system, CareWorks • Bills are sent to PPO network, repriced and imported into Assure Claims • Checks are printed by the Accounting Dept. with an EOBR twice a week at 12:00 noon • Printed checks, along with EOBR's, are folded, stamped and mailed on the same day they print • Non-medical WC checks are given to the adjusters to mail out the same day they print • EDI transmission is completed by S1 Medical indemnity Payments and Cornpen ability Relation has implemented to following controls to ensure accurate and timely payments of indemnity in order to avoid fines and penalties: • Assure Claims generates automated diaries, 10 days from the date of accident, to both the adjuster and Supervisor to ensure compensability has been established, all required claim requisites have been completed and to check if indemnity is due to the claimant. If the diary is not completed by adjuster and/or supervisor, automated diary is generated to the Claims Manager for review. • Assure Claims generates automated 30-and 90-day diaries for file review to the Adjuster and Claims Supervisor on every open and re-opened claim. If diaries are not completed by either, a diary is automatically generated to the Claims Manager. 32 • The diary dates for payment of indemnity benefits are scheduled for check issuance ten (10) calendar days, which is 4 days prior to the due date. Diary dates that fall on weekends or holidays are moved to the last business day prior to the due date. • Claims Supervisor completes a comprehensive supervisory review report addressing compensability, reserve adequacy, subrogation, timely payment of medical and indemnity benefits, timely EDI filings, etc. Claim Supervisor provides plan of action with direction to the adjuster. Miscellaneous Controls Relation has created the following Business Objects reports and implemented to ensure proper claims handling. • Report reflecting any and all claims with no reserves. • Report identifying all claims that have reached or are close to reaching half the self-insured retention. Hence need to be reported to the excess carrier. • Management reports reflecting adjusters' caseloads; number of new claims opened and closed on a monthly basis; claims opened and closed that are older than five years. 33 1 wf Monroe County Workers' Compensation Third Party Claims Administration Services TAB 4-Litigation Pursuant to Section 2-347 of the Monroe County Code, all respondents must provide answers to thefollowing questions regarding claims and suits: (a) Has the Proposer ever failed to complete work or provide the goods for which it has contracted?
