✅ Identify potential recovery opportunities
✅ Investigate the facts
✅ Document the claim
✅ Pursue recovery when appropriate

Subrogation is not automatic, but when handled properly, it can be an important part of claims oversight and risk management.

A workplace injury has been reported. Now what? 🤔

For employers, filing the claim isn’t the finish line. It’s the beginning of a process that can involve information gathering, medical coordination, ongoing monitoring, communication, and ultimately resolution.

And no two claims follow exactly the same path.

📋 Some may resolve relatively quickly.
🩺 Others require ongoing medical coordination.
💬 Some involve weeks or months of communication and updates.
🔎 More complex claims may require significantly more oversight.

Knowing what happens next can help employers stay informed, responsive, and better prepared throughout the process.

✅ What happens after the provider submits it?
✅ Where does the TPA fit into the process?
✅ How do communication, accuracy, and oversight impact the plan experience?

Making the decision to self-fund your health plan is a big step.

But what does the first year actually look like? 🤔

For many employers, that’s where the uncertainty begins.

The first 12 months are about much more than watching claims. You’re learning how your plan performs, understanding reporting, navigating employee questions, monitoring costs, and gathering the information that will shape your first renewal.

📊 Some months may look great. Others may make you nervous.

The key is knowing what the numbers actually mean and having the right team helping you interpret them.

In our latest article, Gulf South Risk Services breaks down what employers can expect during the first year of a self-funded health plan, from implementation through renewal.

💡 Considering self-funding? Already in year one? This is a good roadmap for what’s ahead.
