Our Wrap-Up insurance programs typically involve three entities:
- Program sponsor- the entity that buys the policy
- Insurance agent- brokers the program for the insurance carrier
- Wrap-Up administrator- handles all of the information related to the Wrap-Up program
Elements of a Wrap-Up Insurance Program
Identification of Financial Risks
This encompasses identifying and managing the financial implications of a Wrap-Up program, including:
- Losses/Cost Savings – More claims translate to losses for the sponsor, whereas fewer claims leads to cost savings.
- Collateral – It refers to assets that serve as security against future liability. As the program sponsor, you will be required to provide a collateral to avail of the program’s loss funds.
Claims Management
To minimize the stress of handling insurance claims, program sponsors often hire a TPA (Third Party Administrator) to handle claims management tasks. The claims management process includes:
- Selection of the insurance carrier(s), negotiation of the insurance coverages and terms, and identification of responsibilities
- Hiring an effective Wrap-Up Administration team to handle the voluminous paperwork
- Coordinating the handling of outstanding claims with the insurance carrier and the agent
- Crafting a feasible Return-to-Work program
- Creating cost-saving protocols for the loss fund
