Workers' Compensation Claims Administration Services

San Joaquin County is seeking proposals for Workers' Compensation Claims Administration Services to support its Human Resources Division. The county employs approximately 7,200 full-time staff, along with volunteers and court-ordered work furlough participants, all covered under its workers’ compensation program. The county’s operations span multiple departments, including the Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, and Probation Office, and also feature a 196-bed Level III Trauma Center hospital serving a diverse population of around 759,000 residents across urban and agricultural areas in California’s Central Valley. The county maintains a self-insured retention of $500,000 per incident and participates in the PRISM risk management program, emphasizing its commitment to managing safety and workers’ compensation risks effectively. The solicitation, identified as RFP #23-24, was posted on February 7, 2024, with a deadline for responses set for March 6, 2024. The contract aims to secure comprehensive claims administration services that align with the county’s safety and risk management needs, particularly given its sizable safety membership and coverage of various employee categories, including volunteers and court-ordered workers. Interested proposers are expected to have full knowledge of the project scope and all related issues, ensuring they can deliver services that support the county’s complex operational and safety requirements within the context of California’s workers’ compensation laws.
