Gary Heppner 30 years as an independent insurance agent/agency owner in Central California, writing a large book of workers compensation and other lines of insurance. Helped over 23 plus businesses in seven states, and speaking monthly on- line to all 50 states over the past 5 years. He also provide a remote “Mock OSHA Audit” asking the same questions OSHA would ask to determine your safety program compliance.
In this webinar, supervisors will gain valuable insights on how to proactively manage and prevent costly worker's compensation claims. Many supervisors feel helpless when it comes to controlling the costs of claims, especially after they are reported to the insurance carrier. A seemingly minor claim can quickly escalate, raising your organization's claim experience and driving up workers' compensation costs. This session will focus on practical strategies to communicate effectively with your claim adjuster, helping you to lower these costs and prevent unnecessary increases.
The webinar will cover the importance of knowing exactly what to communicate with your adjuster and the simple questions you can ask to help reduce claim expenses. By implementing these techniques, you can save thousands of dollars and gain more control over the claims process.
In addition, you'll learn how to use past claim history as a valuable tool in identifying patterns and taking preventive action. Understanding past claims will give you insight into potential risks and help you avoid future injuries or reoccurring incidents.
A key component of the session will be the "Return to Work" Program. This program aims to keep injured employees engaged with work, when possible, reducing the need for legal intervention and lowering the likelihood of costly lawsuits. Studies show that this approach can reduce the need for an attorney by as much as 70%, providing significant cost savings for your organization.
Finally, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions about the program, either by phone or email, and receive expert answers within 24 hours. Don't miss this chance to improve your approach to claims management and significantly reduce workers' compensation costs.

Why Should You Attend
Most supervisors feel helpless in the prevention of claims. Most feel they have no control over the cost of the claims once they are reported to their worker's compensation carrier.
Supervisors completed the claim form provided, and then the claim, which seemed minor, was reserved high, which resulted in our claim experience going up and increasing our workers’ compensation costs. Knowing what to communicate with your claim adjuster is what I will cover in the hour. This knowledge can save you thousands of dollars. A simple list of questions to ask your adjuster has the answers to lowering claim costs.
In this webinar, cover why you should use past claim history, which will assist in determining what action should be taken to give you a heads-up on how to prevent an injury claim from occurring or reoccurring.
This session will also provide details about the value of a “Return to Work” Program. This program keeps the injured on the job, if possible, and reduces the need for the injured to hire an attorney by as much as seventy percent. This is a tremendous cost savings.
