Travelers’ new digital capability is part of a suite of workers compensation program enhancements that benefit injured employees and their employers. For example, the company’s Early Severity Predictor model helped to reduce the use of opioids by 30% among those who made claims with Travelers since the beginning of 2015 . In addition, the company’s patented ConciergeCLAIM Nurse program helps injured workers recover faster by providing them with personal assistance from a Travelers nurse who guides them through the workers compensation process.
