The Workers’ Compensation Trust, formerly the Connecticut Healthcare Workers’ Compensation Trust is a employer mutual association of over 400 members representing over 60,000 healthcare workers in the state of Connecticut. In addition to our own claims, the Trust provides third party administrative service to self-insured municipalities, hospitals and other companies, which represents an additional 15,000 employees. The primary purpose and operating philosophy of the Trust is to reduce the workers’ compensation costs of its clients. This is accomplished through aggressive claims administration, effective loss control services, and efficient managed care techniques. The Trust utilizes a case management system, which provides continuous aggressive monitoring and review of each individual claim. Each case is professionally managed by the claims adjuster by coordinating the efforts of all the key players: the injured worker, employer, case manager, physician, rehab nurse, legal counsel, and the Workers’ Compensation Commission. Numerous managed care, cost containment and statutory controls are in place to keep claims expenses to a minimum, while providing quality medical care and timely payments to the injured worker. A unique feature of the Trust is that we are specialists in Connecticut claims. Unlike other TPA’s who are required to handle claims in multi-states, our adjusters are experts in our own state. Another unique feature is that the Trust provides all the claims administration, managed care and loss control services with the use of our own staff, all from our Wallingford location. The Trust strongly believes in developing and utilizing our own in-house resources in the establishment of a quality claims, managed care and loss control service company. We are licensed by the State of Connecticut to provide claims services. We are also licensed by the State to provide utilization review services - another unique feature of our program. Our state-approved Medical Care Plan includes a statewide network of physicians who have the ability to provide quality medical care and understand the value of returning people to work. In addition, the Trust provides customized loss control services that focus on prevention and have a positive impact on loss experience.
