Reducing Loss Costs

Our common goal is to reduce the cost of losses to your business.

BITCO employs claims representatives who have experience in the specialties we have chosen to serve, and who can work with you to reduce claims and the resulting losses that can impact your bottom line.

To combat insurance fraud, BITCO accesses and reports claim data to a comprehensive national fraud database and uses this information to help deter fraudulent claims.

Because your claims representatives work in local offices close to you, they can provide prompt, professional service personally. From prompt reporting of claims to efficient methods for guiding your claim through the resolution process, you’ll see their personal touch positively impact the outcome of your claim.

Ways Our Partnership Can Reduce Loss

  • Programs to reduce your loss costs
  • Toll-free, direct loss reporting
  • Local 24/7 claims service 
  • Workers’ Compensation medical cost containment and medical management programs
  • Filing of required Workers’ Compensation reports
  • Prompt payment of claims
  • Litigation management
  • Commitment to alternative dispute resolution techniques

Managing Workers' Compensation Claims

BITCO assists you in educating your employees about Workers’ Compensation before a work-related injury occurs. We provide helpful assets -- like our Developing a Partnership brochure -- to explain the role of the employee, employer and insurance company in a Workers’ Compensation claim, and stress the importance of working together during the healing process.

If a claim were to occur, our claims representatives assist you by filing all required Workers’ Compensation reports with state agencies.

We also realize that reducing the cost of Workers’ Compensation claims involves helping employees return to productive employment as soon as possible. BITCO's Managed Care Initiatives work to control loss costs through our:

  • Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) network of medical providers
  • Medical billing review to ensure compliance with established fee schedules or reasonable and customary costs
  • Hospital pre-certification
  • Review of continued care and chiropractic care
  • Early assessment, which provides early intervention by a nurse who, upon receipt of a notice of a loss, promptly contacts the treating physician to establish treatment protocol and targeted return-to-work dates
  • On-site and off-site case management nurses
  • Vocational rehabilitation and alternative-employment programs to assist employees in returning to work in some capacity, even light duty
