Title:
title
Approval of and authorization to execute a Professional Services Agreement between the City of Broken Arrow and Two Oaks Investments, LLC, dba Consolidated Business Resources (CBR) to provide services for Workers' Compensation claims administration
End
Background:
The City provides Workers' Compensation benefits to employees through a self-insured program. With the self-insured concept, the City contracts with a third-party administrator to administer the program and pay the associated claims. Consolidated Business Resources has been providing services for workers' compensation claims administration since approximately March 7, 2017.
CBR was established in 1968 and has built their business on customer service, expertise and the philosophy that taking care of injured workers quickly and compassionately will reduce future costs. CBR has a local office in Tulsa that helps to administer the claims. Historically, we have been in an agreement with CBR which is a set annual fee based on a certain number of claims. In Fiscal year 2021-2022, the set number of claims was 120 with the annual fee being $70,000. In 2022, the annual rate changed to a flat fee of $80,000 due to exceeding the 120-claim threshold a number of times.
Consistent with last year's contract, the cost is based on a flat-fee schedule of $80,000 with no maximum claim threshold. In addition, if there is extensive work related to Section 111 reporting or conditional payment defense involving Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), CBR will charge an hourly fee of $100 per hour.
Cost: $80,000
Funding Source: Fund 660 Workers' Compensation
