Insurance Changes from page 3
“This bill balances both goals” of preventing
premium fraud and removing a cost burden
for smaller businesses, Bradford said on his
website. Larger businesses and corporations
would benefit under the change in law.
Bradford’s bill, which Governor Jerry
Brown signed in mid-October, rewrites the
California Labor Code to ease workers’ comp
coverage rules and the definition of who is
an employee. Under the law, all employees
who aren’t exempt must be accounted for in
a policy for workplace accidents, illnesses
and deaths.
An owner or director submits a written
waiver under the penalty of perjury, and
insurers don’t need to verify the information
is true. Bradford says on his website that he
believes the bill safeguards against more fraud.
Accident insurance rates for all businesses
could fall sooner than mid-year. California
Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones has
recommended that workers’ comp insurers
lower their rates by as much as 17 percent.
His office calculates that the base rate for
workplace coverage should be $1.94 per
$100 of payroll. “The continued decreases in
costs to insurers should be passed along to
employers through lower rates,” said Jones,
urging lawmakers to make it automatic. “The
law does not require this currently.”
The state’s elected commissioner advises
the insurance industry on what to charge the
employers, but can’t force them to follow his
recommendation. Insurers and their policyholders
are seeing lower costs for medical
care, which Jones attributes to changes in the
law going back to 2012. As a result, claims
are being settled more quickly, he reported
in late October.
Investigators with the Department of Insurance
have cracked down on employers who
hide their actual number of employees, while
the Division of Workers’ Compensation has
begun to suspend doctors who are convicted
of billing fraud or other crimes. Doctors
kicked out of the work comp system cannot
treat injured workers or continue to bill their
employers for ongoing care.
Fraud in California costs the workers’
compensation system between $1 billion to
$3 billion per year, according to the Department
of Insurance. •
