TPA Services - Workers’ Compensation
Our nurses and adjusters work side-by-side with one goal in mind: returning an injured or ill employee to work as soon as possible. The result for your company is decreased workers’ compensation, indemnity and medical costs; and an increased bottom-line. Together, our nurse-adjuster team uses the same system to manage a handful of cases or a comprehensive claims program. We get involved in a case within the first 24 hours and follow it through to its completion.

A nurse-adjuster team performs a three-point contact within those first crucial hours – to the injured worker, medical provider, and the client. This helps clarify information related to the claim while letting the worker know that you, the employer, cares.

Johns Eastern Company recognizes that clients have unique needs and want different levels of participation. It is that flexibility that gives us the ability to customize a program to meet your needs.


Along with a knowledgeable adjuster, our team consists of:

• a Medical Doctor, who becomes involved if there are disputed medical issues
• Director of Medical Management Services, who oversees the unit
• a Claims Supervisor, who supervises the nurses’ day-to-day activities
• a Nurse Case Manager, who handles a claims case load with an adjuster
• Team Assistants, who provide assistance to the case managers and adjusters in day-to-day   activities.

Cost Containment / Bill Review
Our Bill Review team examines all medical care provider invoices in search of savings. Bills are reviewed and reduced to the present State Fee Schedule, Reasonable & Customary fees, or Policy Standards. Preferred Provider Organization discounts are applied. Bills are also studied for special discounts and to ensure consistent standard billing practices. Finally, we track a history of provider payments to determine if the duration of care or the number of visits billed exceeds a reasonable level. This also prevents duplicate payments for the same invoice or service.

All Lines Aggregate (ALA) Programs
ALA programs are special programs designed for larger governmental entities and corporations. They allow multiple lines, such as workers’ compensation, automobile liability, and general liability to be combined into one policy under one aggregate. Specialized policy provisions such as “clash” coverages help the client control retention costs.

These programs are best handled by one TPA, because it is important to have the data in one system. If the data is in multiple systems, the client will probably lose some of the benefits that the ALA program provides in cases that involve one occurrence, but multiple coverages.

Johns Eastern has written special computer programs that properly manage ALA arrangements. This is offered by very few other TPAs.
