The "U" in the Center of the Trust!

As a Trust member, "u" are critical and central to all that we do.    
All of the services we offer, the programs we develop, the procedures we enact and the decisions we make are all done with "u", the  member in mind. The innovative loss control, managed care and claims management services that we provide to "u" are in your best interest.  In addition, as an employer mutual organization, the  profits are all for "u", too. . . in the form of premium returns.

WCC Establishes Final Fee Schedule

The Workers' Compensation Commission announced a hospital/ambulatory services fee schedule effective April 1, 2015.  The fee schedule provides applicable rates rules and guidelines for facility services based on the applicable percentage of Medicare rates.  The National Commission on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) has filed an overall average loss cost change of -2.3% as a result of the new fee schedule.

The WCC is currently working with a vendor to publish the applicable rates, rules and guidelines for implementation of this fee schedule for an effective date of April 1, 2015.

New Workers' Compensation Posting Notice

The Trust was instrumental in the passing of a new law (PA 17-141) which went into effect on October 1, 2017 allowing employers to post a specific location within their organization to which an employee must send a formal notice of claim for workers’ compensation, commonly known as a Form 30C.  Employers who opt to take advantage of this new benefit may now designate a particular job title, location or department on the revised Notice to Employees posting notice and also provide this information to the Workers Compensation Commission so it can be posted on their website.
