Book Description

PSI Successful Business Library August 1, 1995
Many of the rules which determine premiums are understood only by employees in the audit and underwriting departments of insurance companies. The result is a built-in bias in the system which favors higher premiums.

CompControl was written by an industry insider -- a consultant who has saved clients more than $4 million in overcharges. His book reveals how the system really works and how you can make it work for you. The author provides easy-to-understand explanations of these key items:
* The classification system (and the common misuse of codes)
* Experience modification factors
* Payroll audits
* Rating bureaus
* Loss-sensitive plans

Simplify your workers' compensation process with 12 proven new strategies for controlling spiraling premiums. Included are 24 graphs and timetables to help you evaluate costs, and 20 case studies which illustrate ways you can locate and correct overpayment errors.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ed Priz found the errors in the audit and the insurance company backed off their collection effort." -- Ron Smiles, Manager, Joyce Maloney Temporary Services

5.0 out of 5 stars The Nuts & Bolts of Workers Comp, January 10, 2000
This review is from: Compcontrol: The Secrets of Reducing Worker's Compensation Costs (PSI Successful Business Library) (Paperback)
Most employer-oriented books that I've seen on workers comp are usually anti-employee screeds in disguise. Not with Mr. Priz's book. He gives a business owner the hard facts on how to REALLY control his/her comp costs. And that starts with knowing what all the various WC 'adjustments' in your policy are, and how to systematically bring them into line with what the business claims experience is. All in all, a great book by a respected, seasoned premium analyst in the workers' comp industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great resource for anyone interested in Workers' Comp., February 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Compcontrol: The Secrets of Reducing Worker's Compensation Costs (PSI Successful Business Library) (Paperback)
I found CompControl to be a really useful resource on Workers' Compensation insurance. It explains the fundamentals of how Workers' Comp. insurance is priced, and then goes on to explain how overcharges can occur, and what can be done to prevent or correct them. Best of all, it's not written in an overly-dry way, as many technically-oriented books can be. This is an insurance book for non-insurance professionals who want to get an insider's knowledge of Workers' Comp. I think it would be very useful for business owners and managers of companies of all sizes.
