Workers’ Compensation

A healthy & safe return to work

One of the key differences with Matrix is our ability to unbundle select managed care products. Although we have established service providers who produce measurable savings and operational efficiencies, Matrix also recognizes that clients often have longstanding relationships they would like to continue when a change is made in their TPA administrator.  

When you partner with us, you will receive:
  • Ability to integrate worker's compensation with short term disability, long-term disability and family medical leave management
  • Highly experienced claims professionals, with a low turnover in staff 
  • An account manager who knows your culture and claims philosophy
  • Best in class online claim system that provides real-time adjuster notes, as well as detailed and ad-hoc reporting

Recovery opportunities are consistently recognized, thoroughly investigated and vigorously pursued on behalf of our clients.

Once all damages are known and documented, we respectfully but aggressively pursue all monies owed our client. Relevant evidence is obtained and protected to avoid a claim of spoliation. Salvage is protected in a cost-effective manner and disposed of promptly and in compliance with State and Federal regulations.

Integrated Disability Management

Disability
Matrix Absence Management and Matrix Risk Management Solutions offer a fully integrated product, incorporating workers’ compensation with all disability and leave programs, including FMLA (State and Federal), Leave of Absence services, employer specific leave policies, disability (STD, LTD, self-funded or insured), ADA Advantage, and California Voluntary Disability.

Employers who have implemented an integrated program have benefitted from some of the following key features:
  • Regulatory compliance with tracking WC lost time with FMLA consistently
  • Single claim intake for workers’ compensation and disability
  • Automatic transition from workers’ compensation to disability and leave programs when applicable  
  • Reduction in the number of vendors an injured worker will need to contact to trigger various benefit programs, resulting in improved employee experience
  • Fewer overpayments caused by lack of coordination of benefits
  • Reduction in administrative time for Human Resources/Benefits/Risk Management due to removing the escalation process for clients to notify multiple vendors when the employee begins to lose time.
