Claims Management Software – Self-Insured Employers
Control Your Destiny with Self-Funded Insurance
You can also choose how to manage your claims. Self-Insurance — also known as self-funding —is an alternative risk transfer strategy used by tens of thousands of employers across the United States to finance workers’ compensation, general liability, and other insurance programs, where expenses are paid as they are incurred as opposed to paying a fixed premium to a traditional insurance company.
If done right, self-insurance provides an employer with the highest degree of flexibility and control, and the greatest opportunity for cost savings.
Key Challenges for Self-Insurers
Incident Reporting
When an incident involving customers or employees is under investigated by your security department, all information is reported and documented in an incident reporting system such as Omnigo’s iTrak. This information then needs to be quickly and accurately conveyed to your claims department. This manual, double entry process is inefficient and prone to human error.
HR System Integration
Once the initial report of a workers’ compensation claim is filed, all employee indicative information must be acquired and transcribed from your HR system into the claims system. Not only is this a time consuming task and prone to human entry errors, but it also exposes your company to risk of employee privacy breaches.
Resolution Partner Integration
As a self-insurer, you often partner with TPAs, medical networks, and law firms to adjudicate and resolve workers’ compensation and general liability claims. Most legacy or homegrown systems do not have the API capability to be seamlessly integrated with your resolution partners, making it difficult to keep your claims systems up to date with adjudication and associated financial information as the transactions are executed by the resolution partner.
Omnichannel Communications
Your insureds expect real-time communication across multiple channels (text, email, chat, phone, video) – corresponding just by snail mail or even email is no longer an option. Unfortunately, most claims insurance technology is outdated and does not support omnichannel communications, leading to frustrated customers and unhappy adjusters.

Replacing a Legacy Claims Management System
A large self-insurer was using a stand-alone legacy system to oversee and manage their workers’ compensation and general liability claims. An internal audit revealed:
- a significant amount of their adjusters’ time was being spent on re-entry from their security and HR systems into their claims system and manually referring claims to their resolution partners.
- a few claims employees had been abusing their access to the HR system by viewing non claims related employee information.
- the organization was wholly reliant on their vendors’ reporting for critical claims adjudication and financial data.
