Occupational disability and claims management

WCB costs can escalate quickly. All costs, including wages and medical expenses paid by WCB, come back to the employer. Additionally, claim costs remain on the customer experience report for 3 years, driving up insurance premiums even if no further injuries occur. Bridges Health WCB Claim Management Services can assist your organization by effectively managing claims and conducting file reviews to reduce loss time injuries, promote early and safe return-to-work plans and reduce costs for your business.

Our services provide an average direct costs savings benefit of $3.00 for every $1.00 spent, as well as avoiding indirect costs associated with turnover, retraining, and lost productivity. We have experience in working with all 10 provincial Worker’s Compensation Boards, as well as all of the major insurance carriers.

Bridges Health has specialized in chronic and complex cases in the WCB space and uses several services to support WCB claim resolution. These include direct contact with healthcare providers and use of our ErgoWorks program, which has been effectively used to outline job details and ensure accommodation and return-to-work coordination is timely and effective.
