Claim manager / attending provider
Case Management
We hold claim managers, attending providers and other medical providers accountable on every open claim, and we make sure the file keeps moving toward closure.
The queue nobody wants to be behind
A Washington L&I claim manager carries hundreds of open files at once, and any one of your claims is a single line in that queue. Files get reviewed on a schedule, but a claim manager who's behind doesn't always act on that schedule, and every week a claim sits unmoved is a week of time-loss payments and administrative drag sitting on your books instead of closing out. We track every one of your open claims against where it should be in the process, and when a scheduled review or a claim manager's own action is overdue, we call, and we keep calling until it happens. The same standard applies on the medical side: when the attending provider and another treating provider read a worker's ability to work differently, we go after the objective finding that actually resolves the disagreement, meeting with a provider in person when a phone call and a fax have already gone nowhere.
What that contact actually produces
You get a claim that keeps moving instead of one that goes quiet for weeks between updates. When a review's due, it happens close to the date it was scheduled for, not a month after, because someone outside the Department's own queue is asking about it. When a medical opinion's unclear, we've usually already gone back to the provider before you have to ask what's happening. Over the life of a claim that means fewer surprise time-loss checks and a straight answer when you ask us where a specific file actually stands today.

Three points of contact, one file
Getting a stalled claim moving again rarely comes down to one phone call. It usually takes three separate relationships, kept current at the same time, and none of the three people on the other end report to you.
