  • Medical bills are paid quickly and employees receive timely payment of indemnity benefits for lost wages.
  • GMA WCSIF utilizes PPO and pharmacy benefit networks to reduce overall claims costs.

GMA WCSIF provides free safety and loss control services to include facility inspections, risk identification analysis, on-site and regional training, webinars, recurring risk control publications, a video lending library and access to online training programs.
