Enter expense-reduction consultants, who find savings through audits. Such firms have long examined utility bills. Now, a growing number do workers' comp analysis. ...insurers and their clients often miss deductions and discounts...it has found 75% of its clients overpaying on premiums. Fees are a percentage (usually about 50%) of what the auditors save you. Denver Business Journal: November 2000 REDUCE COSTS BY SPOTTING WORKERS' COMP OVERCHARGES Studies show that roughly 90 percent of Colorado businesses reviewed are overcharged for their premiums. In fact, most businesses don't ever realize that they have been overcharged. The easiest way to review your records for overcharges is to contact an independent review company. This would be a company that is not affiliated with your insurance agent or insurance carrier, but will analyze the premium calculations from your point of view, in complete confidence. Concrete Construction: March 2004 WORKERS' COMPENSATION: WHO REALLY PAYS THE CLAIM Are you being overcharged by the workers compensation insurance system? When so many hands tinker with your workers' compensation insurance, you're bound to be overcharged. Are you sure that your year-end audits for the past 3 years are correct? How do you know? Has your agent helped you prepare for the audits so the auditor becomes your friend and is in and out in 15 minutes? Are you being overcharged because you are paying the wrong rate for employees who are no longer with you? Are you sure that all employees are listed in the right categories? Are you sure that you are paying premium on the right payroll? That the right payroll is the regular payroll? How about overtime? How about fringe benefits? Don't be lulled into thinking that workers' compensation insurance is all the same. It is the most intricate of any insurance you buy. Einstein would have trouble keeping it all straight and understanding the formula that figures out how much you should pay. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
