Missouri insurance regulators settled with EMCASCO Insurance Co. and Employers Mutual Casualty Co. after market conduct examinations into their handling of workers’ compensation insurance. Department of Insurance Director John M. Huff announced that as part of the settlement, Missouri will receive $207,350 and policyholders will receive restitution of over $14,000.
Regulators said their examinations found that the companies failed to maintain updated schedule rating worksheets, failed to properly notify insureds of their potential eligibility for a premium adjustment, failed to file their large deductible policies individually and used a schedule rating credit that is not approved for use in Missouri.
The credit allowed companies to subjectively adjust for “classification peculiarities” through schedule rating that could potentially lead to unfair rating practices.
The companies will conduct a review of their workers’ compensation policies to determine if other policyholders are entitled to restitution. In addition to paying restitution and fines, the companies agree to take remedial action to come in compliance with statutes and regulations of Missouri.
