This is bad business and gives the industry a black eye. Be safe but if someone gets hurt get them help and bring them back to work. Your experience mod will work itself out.

You are right. Insurance agents and brokers need to learn the law and tell their policy holders to follow the law. They should attend and complete WorkCompCollege and attend workers’ compensation conferences and webinars to learn the law.

In Texas, workers’ compensation healthcare networks are not being pushed by a lot of agents and brokers even though network claims are generally less costly and have better outcomes for the injured worker. Why? They fear that their commission may be lower if they place their policy holder with an insurer that participates in a network. That is very short sighted. The same is true when it comes to telling a policyholder to violate the law by not reporting a claim.

Texas needs more claims in network. Employers need to educated about networks and the benefits an employee and employer both get from network participation.

Thanks for all that WorkCompCollege and you do. Continue to spread the workers’ compensation and “Bob Gospel.”
