Module 13 – Ethical Issues
In this 13th module – Ethical Issues in Workers’ Compensation, we look at the important but infrequently discussed issues of ethics in the Workers Compensation field. This module will help you understand the standards of action by which you the claims adjuster, as well as insurer and claim administrators have to meet. We will look at the relationship and potential conflicts between the employer and their insurers and their claim administrators and, practically, how you as the adjuster can work for the common good of the parties in the system. This module, along with the following module on fraud, provides a basis of understanding and analysis for the actions for the participants of the Workers Compensation system.
