Public Sector & Specialty Services

---

Whether you prefer carrier-developed programs, on-demand modules, or custom training built for your team, we are in your corner.

Training resources and platform access may be available through your insurance program or offered through Ascent as an added service, depending on your needs.

We focus on practical, role-based training that supports compliance, safety culture, and staff development.

When in-person support makes the most impact, we can provide on-site training for select clients.

We maintain strong relationships with Pinnacol and other leading carriers serving public entities, which helps us deliver responsive service and competitive program options.

Every carrier brings something different to the table. We start with a full program evaluation, then walk you through options and trade-offs so you can choose the best fit.

We also support public entities exploring advanced structures, including:

• Self-insured options
   
• High-deductible workers’ comp programs
   
• Third-party administrators (TPAs) for claims oversight
   

Whether you are evaluating a new carrier or optimizing your current program, we help you build a workers’ comp strategy that is sustainable, compliant, and cost-effective.

Want to know what is driving your workers’ comp or commercial insurance costs, and what you can actually control?

We use real analytics to support recommendations, not guesswork.

We will help you understand:

• Where your exposures and cost drivers live
   
• How claims and experience mod impact pricing
   
• Which strategies can reduce risk and lower total cost over time
   

Let’s turn your data into a plan that works.

When an injury occurs, we stay involved from start to finish with guidance and support in:

• Reporting the claim and communicating with the carrier
   
• Coordinating the investigation process
   
• Supporting return-to-work efforts
   
• Advocating when communication breaks down or something falls through the cracks
   

We can also help coordinate specialized resources when needed:

• Nurse triage
   
• Case management
   
• Cost control support
   
• Return-to-work strategy
   

Because we work with carriers that have dedicated public entity claims teams, you are never navigating a complex or high-stakes claim on your own.

We support employers through the process while the carrier and claims team manage claim handling decisions.

 Simple.

If your current policy is with a carrier we already represent, it often starts with a Broker of Record (BOR) letter.

From there, we:

• Begin advocating for you during the renewal process
   
• Gather the information needed to evaluate options
   
• Help structure a smarter program that fits your goals
   

Want a quick benchmark first?

Send your declarations pages, or the full policy, and we will complete a preliminary review.

If you are ready for market quoting, we may also request:

• Five years of loss runs
   
• NCCI experience modification worksheet (for workers’ comp)
   
• Property, equipment, and vehicle schedules (as applicable)
   

You are already juggling a lot. We will handle the details so you can focus on your people and your community.
