Compensability Determinations in Workers' Compensation - What Now in Light of COVID?
What makes for a compensable workers' compensation claim? This question has become exceedingly important in light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. Is it possible that someone might have a compensable COVID-19 related workers' compensation claim? This class will help you explain to your clients why injuries or illnesses that do not seem work-related may be accepted for payment.
This is the question that Nancy Germond wants to help us answer. Join us for this important and timely session on the effect that COVID-19 is going to have on certain workers' compensation claims today and in the future.

Workers' Comp: Rates are Down, but Significant Risks are Up
As workers' compensation rates go down, it seems that the risk is lower. Rates generally go in the direction of the actual risk, right? Well, in this session, Frank Pennachio will show us that the raw risks might be down so that the rates are going down, but there's another side to this coin in that there are larger risks that haven't gone away. In face, they might be increasing. Join us and find out why.

How to Keep Work Comp Claim Costs from Spiraling Out of Control
Declining workers' compensation rates are a good thing and declining numbers of workers' injuries are a good thing, but they are not everything.
Paying attention to these without also paying close attention to the cost per claim is risky. Increased severity can overcome decreased frequency in claims so it makes sense to watch this cost per claim.
