Through strong lobbying by organized labor, Michigan has enacted decidedly lopsided workers’ compensation laws. This has resulted in increased operating expenses for all manufacturing businesses in the state.

According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, workers’ compensation insurance and related lost time expenses can increase base salaries by more than 12.4%.

  • Michigan is one of only five states that lets an employee select their own treating physician.
  • Michigan is one of only four states that allows an employee to collect compensation benefits equal to 80% of the employee’s spendable income.
  • In Michigan, attorneys are allowed to charge a fee of up to 30% of an employee’s benefits or award for representing them in workers’ compensation matters - the highest fee structure in the nation!
  • There are no time or monetary limitations on medical benefits paid in Michigan.
  • While the incidence rate for cases with days away from work has declined, rates for cases with days of restricted work activity have increased, and in 1998 the rate was higher than the rate for cases with days away from work.
  
     
     
 

The formula for reducing worker's compensation costs is simple:

Injury Prevention + Loss Control =
Lower Worker's Compensation Costs

According to a study conducted by Michigan State University, the best methods to reduce worker's compensation costs are:

  • Availability of on-site medical care.
  • Timely, accurate accident reporting and investigation.
  • Training programs in safe lifting techniques, hand safety and hazard recognition.
  • Return-to-work programs allowing injured employees to return to work gradually, from light-duty assignments to full-time duty.
 
     
     
 

Through our IMS program, we will:

  • Provide you with an on-call or an on-site Industrial Medical Specialist who will provide first aid and safety consultation services.
  • Significantly reduce down time by minimizing time away from the job because of an injury or illness.
  • Provide savings on every payroll dollar. By decreasing the frequency and severity of reportable worker’s compensation cases, your payroll-based insurance premiums will be reduced. In addition, these savings are compounded from year to year.
  • Provide you with a Light or Restricted Duty Program. One of the keys to minimizing lost time is to keep the employee in the same daily routine of coming to work.
  • Substantially reduce your first aid treatment expenses. Our cost for administering first aid (including supplies) is more than 130% less on the average than comparable treatment at an industrial clinic.
  • Provide timely, accurate accident reporting and investigation.
  • Provide on-site drug screening.
  • Reduce the dollar value of claims by limiting the severity of accidents or by eliminating them altogether.
  • Provide eligibility for schedule rating credits and other incentive programs that may be offered by your insurance carriers.
  • Provide training programs in safe lifting techniques, hand safety and hazard recognition.
  • Help to control medical billing mistakes through review of bills for surgeries and other major medical procedures.
  • Provide your employees with a preferred rate for home health and adult care services.
