Managing claims professionally is paramount in controlling costs associated with workers’ compensation insurance. This is where Insurance Incorporated stands out.

The frequency and severity of claims play a crucial role in determining the negative affect on your experience mod. With Insurance Incorporated, you can trust that we prioritize efficient claims management at no additional cost to safeguard your bottom line.

Before deciding to switch insurance providers, it’s imperative to ask the right questions.

  • Are you being provided with professional claims management services?
  • Will you have direct access to the same agent for questions and support or is a salesman selling you the policy and then you are transferred to a call center?
  • Does that salesperson hold a valid insurance license?
  • Are you dealing with licensed agents for policy and claims inquiries, or will you be directed to a call center?

Understanding these factors can make a significant difference in the level of service you receive, how your claims are handled and ultimately how mush you pay for your insurance.

Most importantly, don’t be swayed by promises of low rates without considering the quality of service provided. Inquire about hidden administrative fees and ensure that you have a clear understanding of the support available to you.
