Director Of Claims Management
CurrentIn this capacity, I spearhead the transformation of our claims department, orchestrating a comprehensive strategy that encompass everything from claim initiation to resolution. Leading a dedicated team of six claims managers, I focus on streamlining operations, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring rigorous compliance, while managing claims for 6700+ employees and over 1,400 reported injuries annually. A cornerstone of my success was the optimization of our return-to-work program, which resulted in a marked increase in the return-to-work rate and a reduction in company costs. By fostering collaboration with injured employees, claims adjusters, and medical facilities, and by exploring opportunities with non-profits, we expedited the reintegration process, thereby enhancing employee morale and reducing overall expenses.Another hallmark achievement was the introduction of an incentive program that motivated the claims management team to reduce their caseloads by 10-15%, thereby surpassing our close rate goals. This initiative fostered a proactive and results-driven team environment, leading to early claim resolutions and enhanced team productivity. By aligning team incentives with our strategic objectives, we not only improved operational efficiencies but also boosted morale and fostered a culture of excellence and accountability within the department.
