The Schoharie Area WC Plan is a self-insured trust of 12 schools and one Board of Cooperative
Educational Services located throughout Schoharie, Albany, and Schenectady Counties. Along with its
longtime risk management consultant, KBM Management, the trust recently partnered with PMA for workers' comp TPA and risk services. Together, the teams deployed best practices to streamline claims reporting, instituted in-depth medical bill reviews, and substantially reduced outstanding claims reserves. Next steps include focusing on risk control initiatives that can prevent injuries and ensure safer, healthier work environments for employees.
