Workers' Compensation Insurance

Workers' Compensation is an extremely important line of insurance that is mostly overlooked in growing originations. Centaur Insurance does an overview and will recommend proven changes (if needed) for your growing organization.

Overpaying for Workers' Compensation Insurance is Common.

Organizations may be overcharged or be paying in surplus due to incorrectly- submitted classification codes. Centaur can review and correct coding and build in corporate procedures prior to the annual audit. Additional items often overlooked include incorrect payroll and not breaking out OCIP / WRAP UP or subcontractors responsibility.

Centaur Insurance strongly advises you to be prepared at audit by having the prior 3 years' audits and supporting information.

Experience Modification Factor (MOD Rating)

This is a very critical generated factor or rating score of employers' loss history. When the MOD rating becomes too high (above 1 or more), employers can be subject to additional surcharges, costly administrative penalties and lack of private insurance markets interested in quoting for competitive premiums.

How Can Centaur Make a Difference?

At Cenatur Insurance, we will do a ground up annual review prior to audit, evaluate all alternatives, and implement policy enhancements and discounts if applicable.  We will review and advise on areas including loss run history, classifications, and payroll input mistakes.
