• Communicate effectively with claimants, medical providers, vendors, clients, and internal stakeholders regarding claim status and issues.

• Collaborate with loss control staff when appropriate to address risk management opportunities.

• Conduct independent file reviews to ensure quality, compliance, and best practices.

• Adhere to all company policies, procedures, and performance standards.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain technical concepts to claimants, clients, and colleagues.

• Proven ability to interact professionally with individuals at all levels of an organization.

• Ability to independently manage highly complex and high-exposure claims with minimal supervision.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Word and Excel (preferred).

 Desired Qualifications

• Experience handling multi-state workers’ compensation claims.

• Prior experience managing litigation and working closely with defense counsel.
