Why Implement a Return-to-Work Program:

Why implement a Return-to-Work (RTW) program for your customers?

Consider...
*1.5 million injuries & illnesses in private industry required recuperation away from work beyond the day of injury in the U.S.

*More than 25% of the cases resulted in 21 days or more away from work.

*Implementing RTW immediately reduces indemnity payments and case reserves of a claim.

*The cost of lost wages is substantially higher then medical costs associated with claims.

*Not only are lost-time days reduced, studies show medical costs are also reduced.

*With lower claims costs, the loss ratio of your business is lowered, making your customers more attractive to the insurance marketplace.

**RTW programs are an effective way to offer your customers solutions to the managed care puzzle!
