WASC January 2025 - Workers' Comp 101
Workers' Comp 101
When an employee is injured on the job, employers need to follow a specific process for handling the workers' compensation claim. Third-party administrators (TPAs) manage this process by reviewing medical bills, determining benefits, and facilitating communication between the injured worker, the employer, and healthcare providers, all while adhering to state workers' compensation laws.

On Wednesday, January 22, David Deyo, a Client Services Associate with Sedgwick, will present "Workers' Comp 101." In this session, he will provide a basic understanding of how a TPA handles workers' compensation claims on behalf of employers. He will explain who initiates the claim process, how a claims adjuster is assigned to review medical records, and what steps are taken to encourage appropriate medical treatment while helping the employee return to work as quickly as possible. Additionally, he will review the specific rules and regulations that apply in Ohio.
The Wooster Area Safety Council meets monthly to share knowledge on relevant topics, network with fellow industry professionals, assist organizations in creating safer workplaces, and provide companies with opportunities to earn a rebate on their workers' compensation premiums.
