Background:
The Workers' Compensation Unit of the Hennepin County Human Resources Department (HR) handles workers' compensation claims for both the County and Hennepin Healthcare. Both entities are self-insured for workers’ compensation. The unit has traditionally needed to supplement its staff with workers from a temporary agency and the current company, Captx, Inc. d/b/a/ Insurance Placement Solutions (IPS), has been a good partner. The service currently provides adjusters or claims staff, when requested, to support the administration of claims and is used to supplement work activities to ensure timely regulatory compliance with claim payments and required reporting as well as exceptional customer service to our injured employees.
