The company specializes in workers’ compensation; disability, FMLA, and other employee absence; managed care; general, automobile, and professional liability; and much more. I worked on two sides of the business, FMLA and Short Term Disability. After a 2 week training period for both STD and FMLA, all six of us interns began working on many parts of the claims process. We analyzed data during our mornings and contacted employees about what eligibility they have and what type of claim would be needed for their time off from work during our afternoons. We maintained regular contact with clients throughout the duration of their time off from work as well. I also learned about the importance of customer service no matter what type of business a person is in and how crucial it is to continue growing one’s business.
