I can help you establish an ADR Workers’ Compensation Program under Labor Code 3201.5 or 3201.7 which protects your members while delivering exceptional claims service.

What is ADR?
ADR Workers’ Compensation Program eliminates delays… eliminates complications and leads to resolutions.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) expedites the resolution of disputed claims by replacing the jurisdiction of the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board with a highly streamlined process. With ADR, all disputed claims are subject to a 3-step process:
- Ombudsman
- Mediation
- Arbitration
Collectively Bargained Workers’ Compensation (CBWC) delivers significant benefits to all parties involved.
