As a privately held company, our focus is on our clients’ needs, not shareholder demands. Our philosophy is one of partnership. Together we will create, design and implement a program that is results driven, while incorporating integrity and urgency to exceed our clients’ risk management objectives.

We offer full services in the areas of Claims Administration, Program Administration, Loss Control, Underwriting, Analytics and Client Services. Consistent delivery of services at exceptionally high standards, coupled with our state-of-the-art software and mobile optimization, set us apart from other service providers.

An affiliated organization with Commercial Risk Management, Inc. was established in 1975. We provide self-insureds and insurance agents with access to AM Best’s A rated carriers, who specialize in Excess Workers’ Compensation and Employers Liability insurance coverage. We are licensed by the Florida Department of Financial Services, working with agents in the State of Florida to facilitate the placement of this required coverage.
Effective claims management is provided using our Best Practices Guide in the areas of utilization and cost containment, litigation management and timely processing of the claim. We will assist each client in establishing preferred providers and we will assist the client in customizing the return to work program. The adjuster works with the client as a team member and promptly communicates with the injured employee and medical provider to assure prompt and appropriate medical care is provided and the employee is returned to work at the earliest possible time. A supervisor reviews every new claim the same day as it is received and assigns it to an adjuster for initial review and three-point contact, then continues to monitor the claim until closure. An action plan is developed and documented in the claim file and is the basis for the prompt resolution of the claim.
Presumption and PTSD claims require a specialized knowledge base and specific protocols that are unique to municipalities. Commercial Risk Management, Inc. has a special training program for our adjusters so that these serious and costly claims are managed with the utmost sense of urgency and expertise. We work hand-in-hand with our municipal clients to establish protocols for investigation and management of heart and lung, exposure and PTSD claims that are suitable for the individual organization’s environment. Additionally, analytical reports and graphs are provided so that the entity can track, trend and maintain close monitoring of these distinctive claims.
We produce a multitude of electronic standard reports. The reports are developed in different formats including Excel and PDF. The collection of numerous data fields, allows us to provide detailed reports. We will design customized reports for the needs of the client. We also have the capability to provide interactive reports.
Our Information Technology Department uses an in-house development team to support a completely custom claims administration software program, as well as a web application for our clients. Using our custom-built web application, our clients are able to securely access their live claims data remotely. Both applications access the same data; therefore, when the adjuster enters a note, adjusts a reserve or scans a document, it is immediately available to our client in the web application. Both systems provide integrated scanned documents for review by the adjuster and the client. In addition to providing Electronic Data Interchange with clients, we also provide this service with vendors and the State of Florida.
We will provide a loss control professional to work with your safety staff to establish or strengthen your loss prevention efforts. Loss control plays an integral role in lowering the frequency and severity of claims. Our focus is not only on identifying potential workplace issues, but also in developing overall safety programs for employees.
Our telephonic case management team works in conjunction with the employer and claims adjuster to manage workers’ compensation claims. An accomplished registered nurse, with over 30 years of experience, heads our team. Our case management team also includes a certified disability manager. The case management team takes an active approach and uses their experience to focus on recovery and return to work, while reducing the overall claim cost. They listen to the needs of the injured worker, schedule appointments with qualified medical providers, coordinate care proactively and communicate effectively with all parties involved, producing better claim outcomes.
"Our organization has been associated with Commercial Risk Management since 2004, and we have established a great partnership with them. And it’s more than just handling workers’ compensation claims. They are really concerned about our success as an organization, stepping up even when our needs are other than claims handling, such as offering input into loss costs trends, safety and loss costs savings strategies, litigation management, audit support, continuing education, etc. Their customer service is second to none, usually resolving our issues on the same day, or proactively following up to keeping us informed on outstanding items. You couldn’t ask for a better bunch of industry professionals than those at Commercial Risk Management.”
