How Business Owners Can Get Back Overpayments Up To Several Hundred Thousand from Their Past Workers’ Compensation Insurance Companies

In the competitive landscape of New York’s construction industry, managing costs is a critical component of sustaining profitability and growth. Among the myriad expenses contractors face, workers’ compensation insurance premiums often represent a significant financial burden. However, many contractors might be unaware that they could be overpaying these premiums, sometimes to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. Enter the BGES Group, a premier firm specializing in workers’ compensation premium recovery analysis, which offers a lifeline to contractors seeking to reclaim overpaid funds and optimize their insurance expenditure.

#### Understanding Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Workers’ compensation insurance is mandatory for employers in New York and provides coverage for employees who suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. The premiums for this insurance are calculated based on several factors, including payroll size, the nature of the work performed, and the company’s claims history. Given the complexity of these calculations and the frequent changes in regulations, errors in premium calculation are not uncommon.

#### Common Premium Calculation Errors

Errors in workers’ compensation premium calculations can stem from various sources:

1. **Misclassification of Employees:** Employees are often categorized into different classes based on their job duties, with each class carrying a different risk level and corresponding premium rate. Misclassifying employees into higher-risk categories can lead to significant overcharges.

2. **Experience Modification Rate (EMR) Errors:** The EMR adjusts premiums based on a company’s claims history compared to the industry average. Inaccuracies in the EMR calculation, often due to incorrect or incomplete claim data, can unfairly inflate premiums.

3. **Incorrect Payroll Reporting:** Overstating payroll amounts or not correctly segregating overtime pay can also result in higher premiums.

4. **Audit Discrepancies:** Annual audits by insurance companies can sometimes include errors or misinterpretations that lead to excessive charges.

#### The Role of BGES Group

The BGES Group specializes in identifying and rectifying these errors, ensuring that New York contractors are not overpaying their workers’ compensation insurance. Here’s how they help:

##### 1. **Comprehensive Audit and Analysis**

The BGES Group conducts a thorough review of a contractor’s workers’ compensation policies, classifications, payroll records, and claim histories. Their team of experts meticulously examines every detail to identify discrepancies and potential overcharges. This comprehensive audit includes:

– **Policy Review:** Scrutinizing past and current policies to ensure proper classification and rate application.

– **Payroll Analysis:** Verifying the accuracy of payroll data and its application in premium calculations.

– **Claims History Review:** Ensuring that all claims are correctly reported and accurately reflected in the EMR.

##### 2. **Experience Modification Rate (EMR) Optimization**

A significant part of premium calculations, the EMR, can be complex and prone to errors. The BGES Group analyzes the data used to compute the EMR, identifying mistakes and advising on steps to correct them. They work to ensure that the EMR accurately reflects the contractor’s actual claims experience, potentially lowering the premium.

##### 3. **Employee Classification Review**

Misclassification of workers can lead to higher premiums. The BGES Group reviews job classifications and ensures that employees are correctly categorized. If misclassifications are found, they work with the insurance company to reclassify employees appropriately, often resulting in substantial premium reductions.

##### 4. **Audit Representation and Dispute Resolution**

When discrepancies are found during an insurance company’s audit, the BGES Group represents the contractor in disputes. They provide the necessary documentation and expertise to challenge incorrect charges, ensuring that contractors are not unfairly penalized.

##### 5. **Ongoing Monitoring and Compliance**

Beyond the initial recovery, the BGES Group offers ongoing support to ensure that contractors remain compliant and avoid future overcharges. They provide regular reviews and updates, adapting to changes in regulations and market conditions to maintain optimal premium rates.
