The Claims Assistance Bureau provides a variety of information sharing, monitoring and regulatory services for the workers' compensation industry and claimants.
The Claim Resolution Unit ensures compliance with workers' compensation and occupational disease laws relating to benefits and claims. Unit staff provide assistance to claimants and insurers by informing them of applicable laws and assisting them in claims processing procedures.
The Data Management Unit monitors, corrects and enters data on new claims, tracks coverage and provides interface services for the collection and accumulation of Workers' Compensation data into the Workers' Compensation Database. This database provides management information to the legislative and executive branches for making policy and management decisions.
The Workers' Compensation Mediation Unit provides an alternative method of resolving disputed claims prior to involving the Workers' Compensation Court. This mandatory, non-binding mediation is an informal process to provide a solution at minimal cost to both parties.
