CASE HISTORY

Pharmaceutical Manufacturer

Challenge
Our Client was concerned about paying premium overcharges. During the initial investigation, our AuditRate team uncovered
a commonly used class code which
appeared to be misclassified. Correcting the misclassification would involve presenting a solid case to the Wisconsin Compensation Rating Bureau, who was reluctant to make
the change.

Action
We formally requested an on site survey be performed at each of the Client locations.
The rating bureau declined the survey and
we were forced to take them to a Hearing which was open to the public. The Hearing consisted of a panel of 20 members, comprised mostly of insurance executives from large Wisconsin-based insurance companies. Our industry-specific expertise was a major contributor to our perceived credibility.

Results
After lengthy deliberation, the rating bureau corrected the misclassification. Our Client was able to significantly reduce their insurance premium. This change was applied to every Wisconsin Railroad Manufacturers who used this class code.
