Escalating costs of health care and worker’s compensation have forced employers to focus on cost containment strategies. Mid-State Occupational Health Services, Inc. professionals have extensive experience and proven success in decreasing incurred worker’s compensation costs at both a corporate and plant level.

Mid-State is committed to providing your company or corporation with worker’s compensation management that accelerates case closure and decreased incurred costs. This is achieved by:

•         Reviewing your company’s Loss Run Reports and providing communication with the insurer to facilitate reserve reduction and claims resolution.

•        Many companies do not employ Occupational Health Professionals to monitor and investigate open worker’s compensation claims. Mid-State case managers will proactively investigate these claims for your company and will establish a plan of action to move towards timely resolution.

•        We will provide assertive and consistent communication with the company’s insurance carrier to discuss reserve adjustments and individual claims management.
