The AP (9/3, Paulson) reported, “A workers compensation insurer may have paid bonuses to employees for denying claims, a lawmaker said Thursday, citing documents provided by the company. State Sen. Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, said that documents indicate Pinnacol Assurance paid bonuses to claims adjusters and doctors based on performance standards that included net income targets.” Carroll “said employees were rated on how fast they disposed of claims, giving claims adjusters an incentive to dismiss them.”
