> Worth noting - Amazon has nothing to do with this. They simply pay premiums for Sedgewick to administer the claims. The employer typically doesn't tell the insurer to go after the workers, since in this case it is Sedgewick who's footing the bill.
The most anyone can really expect of them is that they consider other providers, or hold their existing providers to a higher standard; and that is almost certainly what they are going to do.
- tcarn 8y agoI mean with all this publicity they will probably be switching providers or sending in a complaint to Sedgewick, but they aren't micromanaging carpal tunnel workers comp claims that make up 1/100000th of their revenue.
- PavlovsCat 8y agoAre there incentives for discovering a claim as fraudulent -- or do they just get paid by the hour, with certain standards that must be met, and that's it?
- shawnz 8y agoWhen they were choosing a claims management provider, they surely took care to choose one that aligns with their values. So this at least reflects poorly on Amazon's choices at that time.
- cperciva 8y agoYou expect Amazon to interview insurance companies and reject any which answer in the affirmative to "do you follow industry standards with regard to investigating claims"?
