Self-Insurance in CASPER

Additional Takeaways

Unlike traditional insurance, Self-Insurers can be both the Insurance Carrier and Employer — take Macy’s for example:

Macy’s (S0451) is the primary payor and responsible party.

As the primary payor and responsible party, Macy’s has other companies they pay on behalf of such as those companies with the blue dot shown above; For example, notification of a work-related injury/illness at Bloomingdales, the employer, (S0451-02) will r eceive JCN’s under the Bloomingdales FEIN #311240040. However, Macy’s, the parent and financially responsible party, (S0451) – FEIN #133324058, will respond to, pay and/or defend the claim. • The primary payor and responsible party (Insurance Carrier) will always be “S” code with no sub-code. • All other companies are identified with a sub-code (i.e. -01, -02, -03). • Also notice how the Self-Insurer # search produced all companies related to Self-Insurer —Macy’s Inc. vs., the FEIN search (Bloomingdale s only) and Name Search (Macy’s name only). • All active Self-Insurer information should be current. The Self-Insurance Program is located in Finance and maintains the Insurance Carrier information related to Self-Insurers.

Inactive and surrendered Self-Insurers were moved to CASPER in 2012 and are not updated unless a task and/or movement takes place on the account.

If assistance is needed with an inactive or surrendered Self-Insurer a Review Self-Insurer or Review Self-Insurer Employer task can be sent to the Self Insurance Program or an email can be sent to selfinsurance@workcomp.virginia.gov.

• Only staff members in Self-Insurance are authorized to make changes to and/or approve changes to Self-Insurer information and data.
