He testified that based on his review of an MRI taken prior to the Plaintiff’s 2007 surgery and a CT scan taken one year after the surgery, he only saw a “very mild” progression of her cervical condition at C3-4, C4-5 and

His previous employer was ordered to pay back wages. Martinez then challenged the denial of his reemployment compensation claim and the amount of work credits he was entitled to. The denial was overturned after good cause granted, however the additional income was not considered since income is calculated during the calendar quarter it is received and not necessarily when it was earned. Therefore, following the laws governing how reemployment assistance is calculated ruled that Martinez’s benefit amounts could not be adjusted to reflect back pay.

We continue to have a favorable view of the Republic workers’ compensation program administrated by Sedgwick Claim Services (Sedgwick). Sedgwick claims department operates at a slightly higher level than most workers’ compensation claims operations. Our review revealed no deficiencies in either their reserve practices or in the management of their claims. Claim Best Practice Guidelines, Litigation Guidelines along with effective financial controls, assist this claims program to work at an efficient level. Overall, I view the Republic workers’ compensation program administrated by Sedgwick to be better than average with the expectation it will have a positive impact on the overall profitability of our treaties.
