Workers’ compensation insurance is essential for protecting your business and employees, but not all providers are created equal. Many business owners in the Tri-State area find themselves frustrated with their current insurance company for various reasons. If any of the following 10 issues resonate with you, it may be time to turn to BGES Group for a better solution.
10 Reasons Business Owners Are Unhappy With Their Workers’ Compensation Insurance
1. High Premiums That Keep Increasing
Many insurance providers raise premiums annually, even if your claims history is minimal. Some companies don’t work proactively to help lower costs, leaving you paying more than necessary.
2. Poor Claims Handling
A slow or inefficient claims process can lead to delays in injured employees receiving benefits, causing frustration for both the worker and employer. If your provider is known for dragging its feet, you’re likely experiencing unnecessary headaches.
3. Lack of Communication
Nothing is more frustrating than trying to get in touch with your workers’ compensation provider, only to be met with long wait times, unanswered emails, or a lack of responsiveness. If your provider isn’t available when you need them, that’s a serious problem.
4. Difficulty Getting Claims Approved
Some companies make the claims approval process unnecessarily difficult, forcing employers and employees to jump through hoops. If valid claims are frequently being denied or delayed, it’s time for a change.
5. Lack of Cost-Saving Strategies
A good workers’ compensation provider should work with you to find ways to lower your costs. If your current insurer isn’t offering proactive safety programs, risk management strategies, or premium reduction opportunities, they’re not serving you well.
6. Poor Return-to-Work Programs
Helping injured employees get back to work quickly and safely is crucial for controlling costs. If your provider doesn’t offer strong return-to-work programs, you may be overpaying in claims and struggling with workforce disruptions.
7. Hidden Fees and Surprise Charges
Some insurance companies are notorious for adding unexpected fees to policies, making it difficult to budget for your workers’ compensation expenses. If you’re getting hit with surprise charges, it’s time to look elsewhere.
8. Coverage Gaps
If you discover too late that your policy doesn’t cover certain types of claims, you could be left with major financial liabilities. A good provider should ensure you have comprehensive coverage tailored to your industry’s risks.
9. Unfriendly or Unhelpful Customer Service
Workers’ compensation insurance is complicated, and when you have questions, you need answers fast. If your current provider has a reputation for poor customer service, it can make managing your policy a nightmare.
10. Not Understanding Your Business Needs
Every industry has unique risks and challenges. If your provider takes a one-size-fits-all approach instead of tailoring coverage and solutions to your business, you’re likely overpaying and under-protected.
