Why Westfield for Workers’ Compensation Insurance?

We know your customers are at their best when all their employees are operating at full capacity. Our suite of dynamic programs backs our promise to care for your customers when they need it most. These programs were designed to not only get injured employees back to work fast, but to also help them navigate each step of the process. Here are just some of the value-added programs we offer at no additional cost to the policyholder.

WesCare

Our WesCare Workers’ Comp Programs and Services

WesCare® 24/7 Nurse Triage Program

Designed to give an injured worker early access to high-quality medical care, the WesCare program helps ensure workers get the level of care that correlates to their injury. When an accident happens, a registered nurse will help assess the worker’s needs via the 24/7 hotline. This type of early intervention results in quicker assessments, appropriate referrals, better recoveries, and less costly claims.

WesWorks® Return-to-Work Program

Employers aren’t always able to accommodate an injured employee who is released to work with limitations. As part of their transition back to work, WesWorks can coordinate a temporary placement at a local nonprofit. This allows injured workers to engage in work that is safe for them and meaningful to the community while continuing to receive a paycheck from their employer.
Health

Pharmacy Benefit Program

Westfield and Healthesystems work together to help make sure injured employees have affordable access to the medications they need during their recovery. Program highlights include: First fill of prescribed medication at no out-of-pocket cost, mail order pharmacy to deliver prescriptions to the injured worker’s home, and clinical program and formulary to ensure injured workers get the right drug therapies.

Outstanding Claims Experience

Our claims and customer care teams provide empathetic, efficient, and professional care from the first notice of injury. Because they carry manageable caseloads, our claims professionals can offer the proactive attention business owners and injured workers deserve. Plus, we make communication easy with the ability for injured workers and claims professionals to communicate via text. Westfield is continually developing ways to enhance our claims experience.

I am very impressed with the professionalism of Westfield’s adjusters and nurse case managers. They are very personable.
