  • Manage Skyrocketing Workers’ Compensation Premiums!
    BHL is a full service independent insurance brokerage firm with over 85 years of experience providing innovative risk management solutions to businesses and individuals. As an independent agency, we work for you, not for any specific insurance company. Our proactive approach to claim and risk management works to increase your profitability, improve your business processes and provide you with more control over your workers’ compensation programs.

    7 Ways to Control Your Workers' Compensation Costs:
    1. Classification Audits
      We evaluate the application of workers’ compensation class codes to ensure that they are applied correctly and to your advantage. Many times, errors in classifying a business can cost that business tens of thousands of dollars in overpayments in workers’ compensation insurance premiums.

    2. Premium Recovery Service
      Do you know that you may be able to recover substantial overpayments you might have made on your workers’ compensation premiums? Even up to six years prior? Most companies simply pay the workers’ compensation premiums as dictated by their insurance carrier each year. But in the majority of the cases we’ve audited overpayments were discovered. Not only were we able to recover these overpayments, through corrected classification, we were able to dramatically reduce their workers’ compensation premiums going forward! In one case alone, we are able to recover in excess of $400,000 in overpayments.

    3. Ensuring An Accurate Experience Modification Factor
      Workers’ compensation experience modification (mod) factors are calculated six months after the end of your policy year. We confirm the accuracy of the data the carrier uses to determine your mod rate and negotiate to ensure that the reserves are correctly set and are not higher than they should be.

    4. Risk And Claim Management
      Losses ultimately drive your workers' compensation costs. BHL workers' compensation specialists have decades of experience in reducing claim severity and identifying methods for preventing losses.

    5. Insurance Programs Dedicated To Helping Your Contain Costs
      We are experts in designing workers’ compensation insurance programs with services that partner with you to reduce your real cost of insurance. Our programs can provide upfront discounts and proactive services to help develop loss prevention programs.

    6. Alternative Risk Financing
      There are alternatives to traditional workers’ compensation insurance which provide you with more of the financial benefits of controlling your losses—even if you are already doing a very good job at containing losses! We can help you analyze, develop and implement these programs.

    7. Comprehensive Injury Management Process
      BHL, along with affiliate Workplace Health Solutions (WHS), provide one of the most comprehensive and effective injury management programs to dramatically reduce your workers’ compensation costs. The process includes:

    What You Don’t Know Could Be Costing You

    Most companies simply pay the workers’ compensation premiums that are dictated each year by their insurance carrier.

    You Don’t Have To Take It Anymore!
    Workers’ compensation premiums have risen 50% nationwide in the past three years—17% faster than the rate of inflation. Some businesses are getting back-to-back increases of up to 40% even if they have favorable workplace accident rates. It has been found that premiums are often incorrectly calculated based on assumptions and oversight, resulting in overcharges that can run in the tens of thousands of dollars. With BHL’s proven workers’ compensation premium recovery service you no longer have to watch your profits go to insurance companies.
