Ken Paradis shared thisSteer Your Negotiations with Structures In navigating any journey, charting the course in advance and updating it as opportunities and challenges arise is critical to success. By bringing Chronovo in before you make an offer or respond to a settlement demand, we can give you the widest range of strategies to maximize what we call Structure Finance Value. Don’t wait, react passively, and forfeit all the savings without any benefit to you. Steer your negotiations in the right direction. Bring structures in early and keep us on deck to give you more strategies along the way. Reach out to Chronovo early in your settlement journey (www.chronovo.com) We are always free and can be invaluable in the settlement process. #claims #law #insuranceclaims #claimsmanagement #risk

Ken Paradis shared thisAs you know, Medicare Set Asides are designed to protect the Medicare Trust Fund, not create extra benefits for the estate after the claimant’s death. So how do you recover those dollars “set aside” for Medicare—not the claimant’s estate--because the claimant dies before their life expectancy and/ or the cost of services required for CMS approval was excessive during their lifetime (~40% overpriced on average). Reversionary refunds--sometimes called reversionary interests-- are the answer! As this quick, one-page summary details, there are two primary options with structures or professional administration. There is even a third option that combines both services. Imagine reducing the cost of the MSA upfront by 38% and then recovering on the unused claimant benefits “set aside” for Medicare and never used or exhausted. Pretty impressive, right? Structures are the only way you can save on the front end and ensure recovery of your reversionary refund. Even better, structures enable you to capture all those savings in a single step, with no cost to the claim file and without taking a penny in benefits from the claimant--or coverage for the Medicare Trust Fund--on a CMS-approved MSA. Smart. Structured. Settled. Please reach out to us at www.chronovo.com to talk about it more. #claim #claimsmanagement #adjuster #claimslife

Ken Paradis shared thisStructures provide dynamic options, solutions, and value that can bridge a significant financial gap in negotiations. At Chronovo, we pride ourselves on collaborating early and bringing invaluable creativity to the settlement process. With Chronovo, structures are an easy and powerful way to "make settlement season" count. #claims #adjusters #riskmanagementKen Paradis shared thisMake Settlement Season Count As settlement season hits its stride, just remember that structures provide financing that routinely closes the negotiation gap—almost 40% on average--between the parties. Bring us in as early as possible to feed you with dynamic options and strategies to close more claims. Remember, too, that structures are a unique gift from the IRS and Congress: a highly secure, tax-free—not just tax-deferred--annuity. All for free for both parties. Structures are also free from Stock Market investment costs and risks—an opportunity for the plaintiff or claimant that is lost after the claim is settled. Structures are the perfect antidote to troubled financial times. Settlement season is here. Let’s Settle More—And Better—With Structures. Reach out, and let’s get creative together. info@chronovo.com

Ken Paradis shared thisAnd now for something completely different. While I am far from giving up my day job, I am proud to announce that I have published a volume of poetry, The Onward Song, with writer and filmmaker Russell Martin and his press at Say Yes Quickly Productions. Written and edited over many years, The Onward Song strives to be clever enough to be worth the reader’s time but never at the expense of accessibility or sincerity. As the attached video reveals, reviews have been quite favorable. Acclaimed poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer commented on the Onward Song: “I’m spellbound…Wise. Passionate. Restless. Generous. A triumph of a first collection” You can check out www.paradispoetry.com to sample the written or recorded versions or get a little more insight about the Onward Song from a brief interview. You can find The Onward Song in paperback, hardcover, e-reader, or audiobook versions at Amazon, Audible and likely anywhere else you buy books online. #creativity #writingcommunity

Ken Paradis shared thisOctober is coming soon, bringing Halloween and the #NWCDC with it. I am excited about presenting on “Creating the ‘Exponent[AI]’ Claims Professional” with Kim Wiswell, CMSP-F & Mark 'RxProfessor' Pew on October 15th @ 3:45 in Session Room 2. We will focus on AI’s practical, actionable tools for adjusters. AI provides insights and time savings that enable claims professionals to be even more insightful, strategic, and empathetic—to be an “exponential” version of themselves. Just like Halloween, there are lots of sweet treats and no spooky tricks in all that! Please join us in Las Vegas! #claims #claimsmanagement #workerscompensation

Ken Paradis shared thisListening to #GregHamlin's wrap-up of Season 7 of his #BerkerlyComp #Adjusted podcast, and I am honored to have been a part of it. As Greg references, I was so grateful that he responded to my idea to do Episode 82 on "Empathy for Adjusters". I truly enjoyed our conversation this past March with #NatalieBattles on such an important topic. From the response we received, the episode may have even spurred other conversations and a few practical changes—and for that, I am most excited. Thanks again to Greg & the whole Adjusted team for the opportunity.” #claims #workerscompensation #claimsmanagement #claimslifeEmpathy for Adjuster with Ken Paradis - Season 7, Episode 82Empathy for Adjuster with Ken Paradis - Season 7, Episode 82

Ken Paradis reacted on thisKen Paradis reacted on thisOur workforce is aging, and it’s changing how claims show up. More than a third of workers’ comp claims over $50,000 involve workers age 40-49, and slips, trips and falls are the leading cause of claims for employees 50 and older. Programs built for yesterday’s workforce won’t hold up. 💬 At National Comp, I’m joining American Airlines and Sedgwick’s Lori Newhouse to talk about managing a changing workforce and what it means for workers’ comp programs — from prevention to claims strategy. With more claims data than any other competitor, we see these shifts before they become trends. Bring your workforce questions to National Comp, let’s work through them together. https://bit.ly/3UbSVkH
