VALUE AND SAVINGS FOR NRLA MEMBERS!

Group #531 provides fully insured Workers’ Compensation insurance through the New York State Insurance Fund and offers the potential for yearly dividends!
    NRLA formed Group #531 in 1990. Since that time, it has been among the best performing safety groups in the state. It has returned an average dividend of 35 percent over its profitable 13-year history.
    In 2001, NRLA hired Lovell Safety Management Company, LLC to serve as group manager for the program. Together, NRLA and Lovell Safety Management Co. offer Group #531 members the following:

Advanced discounts on premiums
Employers with good claims experience qualify for this upfront savings.

Dividends
Group #531 has paid dividends on premiums every year it has been in existence. Dividends are in addition to upfront discounts. For the 2002 policy year, the combined dividend and advanced discount netted members a 35% savings in Workers’ Compensation premiums!

Loss Control
Lovell’s team of safety professionals provides expert, personalized, and industry-specific training on safety issues such as proper lifting, forklift training, and adherence to Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) guidelines.

Claims Management
Employers receive assistance in filing claims, a claims procedure manual with copies of all necessary forms, and quarterly reports. Lovell’s experienced staff monitors claims on a regular basis to ensure that proper care is given and that the reserves are set appropriately. This expertise and vigilance saves employers money and returns the injured employee to work in the most cost-effective and expeditious manner.

Early Intervention Program (EIP)
EIP is a three-pronged point of contact between the injured employee, the employer, and the physician. Lovell-employed nurses coordinate medical care and manage the claim from beginning to end. Early intervention improves employee morale, helps steer an employee back to work sooner, and saves employers money!

Advocate for Employers
Employers are represented at hearings before the Workers’ Compensation Board.
