Easy access to your own experienced
account managers
Each employer is assigned to an OMA workers' compensation
account manager. All account managers are available by phone
and email. OMA account managers have extensive experience;
managing claims and advising employers is their profession.
Having an assigned account manager gives you a single point of
contact and single point of accountability for how your claims are
handled.
Hearing strategy and representation
In every case where an Industrial Commission hearing is
required, your OMA account manager plans the hearings strategy
with one of our team of workers' compensation attorneys.
Based on that strategy, OMA sends the attorney or professional
hearing representative with the appropriate skill level and
experience to produce the desired outcome.
OMA hearing representatives know their geographic territories
and the personalities of the Industrial Commission staff, which
help them define the most effective strategies.
Your account manager and hearing representative will keep you
informed each step of the way and provide written outcomes of
hearing results. Your account manager will ask for your
involvement in hearings for optimum outcomes.
Strategies to contain claim and
premium costs
Count on the experience and advice of your account manager in
each claim situation. Some claims are appropriate for a full
and final settlement, some claim costs can be reduced if the
injured worker has certain non-work related health conditions, and
all lost-time claims need an ongoing approach.
Having the OMA is like having an extension of your own staff.
