Return on Investment – The Bickmore Benefit

Applying the highest standards to what is best for our clients, BRS delivers comprehensive, quality service that translates to value – a fact supported by a 95% client retention rate with a 12-year average. The following represent quantifiable evidence of BRS clients’ Return on Investment (ROI).

BRS is successfully helping a large West Coast Joint Powers Insurance Authority (JPIA) control workers’ compensation costs by implementing a tailored Disability/Return-to-Work Program. Two years into the Program, measurable benchmarks and outcome tracking metrics indicate the JPIA has a 23% decrease in total incurred costs; 21% reduction in temporary disability; 41% reduction in medical costs; and 37% non-referral rate.
A large West Coast JPA’s claim frequency dropped over 50% since the inception of BRS’ proprietary EPL program and administrative leadership. The JPA’s 160+ members have never had an EPL verdict in excess of $480,000; others cities and public entities not in the JPA in the same state, over the same time period, have had numerous multi-million dollar verdicts. BRS continues to provide the JPA with useful EPL/HR tools that maximize efficient and effective workplace growth, while reducing costly civil litigations and employee lawsuits.
Using BRS studies, tools and solutions over a seven-year period, loss frequency of a large Northern California City has dropped below other California Self-Insured Cities based on claims per 100 employees (reported by the California Department of Industrial Relations). Injuries per 100 employees declined by over 50% from 2000 to 2007. Loss frequency of the average California Self-Insured City dropped from 17.56 injuries per 100 employees in 2000 to 10.75 injuries per 100 employees in 2007.
After performing a complete risk assessment for a large Southern California County, BRS assisted the county in identifying ways to control loss costs. A catalyst for change, BRS’ risk control recommendations to the county contributed to workers’ compensation aggregate savings of $5,281,000 for years 2005, 2006 and 2007.
