I have in a roundabout way covered a few of the secrets (that are not so secret) to cutting your company's Workers Comp costs. The five are:

• Timely reporting of the injury to the insurance carrier/TPA
• Medical network in place
• Return to work plans for an injured employee
• How the employee is treated by the employer
• Understanding Your Premium Audit

If you look over the last few posts, the first three have been covered. I will cover #5 - Understanding Your Premium Audit in the next post or two.
