Managed Care Network  |  Anti-Fraud Services  |  How to Report a Claim  |  Find a Provider

The KARE claims management program emphasizes intensive claims investigation, as well as your input into the claims process. As claims are an inevitable part of the workers' compensation process, the true benchmark for quality in a workers' compensation program is how well your claims are managed by your insurance company. You can always depend on KARE for the following value added claims services:

Prompt and accurate payment of claims
Thorough medical bill audit service to ensure accuracy
Appropriate, injury-specific medical treatment and rehabilitation
Fraud detection screening and investigation of potentially fraudulent claims
Monthly, quarterly, or annual experience reports to identify claims issues
and assist in correction at an early stage
Specifically assigned claims adjuster and customer service representative
to each account
Local staff with local claims knowledge handling local claims (Other
states claims are also supervised locally for consistency/continuity.)



It is a proven fact that managed care helps to control claims costs while returning injured employees to work as soon as practical. KARE utilizes the services of Bluegrass Health Network (BHN), which is an admitted occupational oriented managed care organization in all counties in Kentucky and utilizes the services of First Health in other states. As a non-provider controlled organization, BHN provides the following services to assist you and your employees:

Utilization Review of the use of services to ensure an appropriate match
to the injury

Case Management to coordinate care for the injured employee and to facilitate
return to work
