Real Claims Resources in a Virtual Claims World
9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
An Online Event
Focusing on claims management as our colleagues push through a tough winter, we will provide real-world resources for handling the most complex claims as well as your own basic health and happiness -- while often doing all that and more from home. Claims managers, case managers, attorneys, human resources, vocational counselors, and more -- join the discussion and take home some valuable continuing ed credits and key new insights on our rapidly changing industry.
