Dedication to Claims Excellence

When an injury occurs, you want an expert to handle your workers’ compensation claim. At United Heartland, we are specialists in workers’ compensation with a history built upon claims excellence. Our experienced team uses innovative strategies to achieve maximum medical improvement for injured workers while lowering your cost of risk. As a result, our overall average claims costs are 22% below the industry average.1

Quality Outcomes

We aggressively investigate every claim, including those that are medical only, and pursue comprehensive, early return-to-work on all indemnity cases. Our nurse case managers collaborate with our claims professionals to ensure a healthy return-to-work and recovery for your injured workers.

Claims Texting

In addition to our standard communication vehicles, we offer a texting solution on all non-litigated claims, which improves efficiency and service for our customers. Through our partnership with Hi Marley, customers who utilize the texting option will be able to communicate with our claims team in real-time and in more than 10 different languages without the need for a translator.

Medical Management

We return your workers to health and to work quickly using Care Analytics®, our award-winning patented platform combining:

  • Data analysis
  • Best practices in evidence-based medicine
  • Effective partnerships with experienced occupational physicians

This technology identifies the most experienced medical resources to treat your injured workers, resulting in reduced treatment durations and costs.
