What we offer
Our Workers’ Compensation Programs
We manage three New Hampshire self-insured group trusts as well as individual self-insured employers. Many third-party administrators focus only on processing claims. Our approach is broader: we help run the full workers’ comp program from loss control to claims to nurse/case management support.

About Individual Self-Insured Company ManagementWhat’s included
Our Workers’ Comp Benefits
Self-insured programs work best when the moving parts stay connected. We handle the day-to-day workers’ compensation program coordination, and bolster it with proactive loss control services and thorough claims management that helps reduce injuries and keep employees on a safe path back to work.
Loss Control (Injury Prevention)
We work with your team on practical solutions to lower injury risk, and we support return-to-work efforts so employees can come back safely and sooner if an injury happens.
Claims Management
Clear communication, timely handling, and steady follow-through to support appropriate care and a smoother, faster return to work when possible.
What is self-insurance?
Self-Insurance 101
Self-insurance means a group (or an employer) takes on workers’ comp risk directly, often with more control and a stronger incentive to invest in prevention. It isn’t the right fit for every organization, but for many New Hampshire employers, it can be a practical way to stabilize costs over time.
