COVERAGE AND PLAN DETAILS:

Since 1984, OMAG's Workers' Compensation Plan consists of two program types:

• Aggregate Deductible Plan: A self-funded program that allows a municipality to pay into its own loss fund from which claims are paid. When claims are less than the loss fund, the difference is returned to the municipality. Because of the nature of this plan, all participants receive a GASB report after each plan year for financial auditing purposes.

• Standard Group - A Standard policy based upon payroll by classification of employee. This program does not provide any premium refund.

Member cities with successful loss control and worker safety efforts that see a reduction in claims can find themselves saving money as OMAG helps to shift them into its Retention Plan.

FILING A WORKERS' COMPENSATION CLAIM:

Claims for Workers' Compensation are handled by Consolidated Benefits Resources (CBR). CBR requires the submission of the completed Workers' Compensation Claim packet to initiate a claim.  A claim may be submitted via email at newclaim@cbremail.com. Employers can also choose to file electronically at www.cbrcloud.com. If filing electronically, the employer will not have to follow up with an emailed copy of the claim.

The Oklahoma Workers’ Compensation Commission implemented mandatory EDI filing of workers’ compensation claims on 9/1/2018.   Your TPA, Consolidated Benefits Resources (CBR), has provided this data, on behalf of OMAG, to the WCC since that date.   The individual OMAG member’s responsibility is to submit the First Report of Injury (FROI) to CBR within 24-72 hours of notice of claim, to help ensure the timely electronic filing to the WCC.   While the WCC can issue fines against employers for non-compliance, OMAG members have not been fined.  The WCC has issued accuracy report cards, measuring data acceptance and rejection rates, and CBR’s acceptance rate is consistently in the 99th percentile for initial FROI reports.

As a reminder, CBR has a claims portal OMAG members can use to enter FROIs online.  If not signed up already, please go to CBRCloud.com.  See below for a video tutorial.  If online filing is not available in your office, you can email the FROI to newclaim@cbremail.com.  A PDF FROI is available at CBRCloud.com.

To file electronically:

Important Notes

• Please file claims within 5-7 days of employer notice of injury, preferably within 2 to 3 days.

• Do not send a paper copy of the form to the Workers’ Compensation Commission.

• Supporting documents are not required to submit a claim.  They can be emailed to the adjuster later.

• If you choose to file electronically, you do not have to follow up with the submission at newclaim@cbremail.com.

• CBR will file the claim electronically with the Workers’ Compensation Commission.  The employer does not have to register with the WCC.

• The adjuster will contact you most likely within 24 hours of submission.  If the claim is an incident only or a simple treat and release claim, you can select the “I do not wish to be contacted button”.  However, we recommend contact on most claims.  The adjuster will contact the employee on all claims.

• Submission of claims electronically through the CBR portal is completely voluntary.  You can continue to submit claims and supporting documents through newclaim@cbremail.com.
