Your Workers’ Compensation Solution

Let’s face it…injuries at work happen, especially with health and human service providers who serve many high-risk, vulnerable populations. Employers in this space appreciate the dangers and want to protect their courageous staff members. Workers’ compensation coverage with a preemptive focus on employee safety is an important element in helping reduce injuries.   

Embolden WC Trust is proud to offer a workers’ compensation solution tailored to the needs of health and human service employers and their employees. If you are a health and human service employer, you, too, can opt for safety and take control of your workers’ compensation experience by joining the Trust.

Expertise You Can Trust

Embolden WC Trust has selected outstanding business partners who embrace group self-insurance as a workers’ compensation model. Our partners providing administration, claims management, and risk management services collectively have more than 133 years of experience. This empowers the Trust to be financially strong, to deliver excellent claims management, and to support our members’ focus on workplace safety.

What Makes Us Different

State/Commercial Providers
  • No vested interest or specialized knowledge regarding health and human services
  • Providers have no control over the operations or priorities of the plans
  • Highly regulated with little flexibility
  • Continued coverage is not guaranteed, especially after bad claim experience
  • Cost can be volatile
  • Dividends are almost unheard of
  • Grants to fund safety initiatives are non-existent
  • At best, limited risk management services
