2012 will soon be behind us, but before we flip the calendar over to January, let’s take a look back on this past year.
New EIA Website: In August, we launched a brand new website that is not only cleaner, but is also responsive. Now you can use the site on any mobile device.
Cyber Liability Program: Cyber Liability program separated from the Property program. Cyber Liability coverage includes Information Security and Privacy Liability, Privacy Notification Costs, Website Media Content Liability, and more.
New Employee Benefits Position: In May, the EIAHealth Committee approved the addition of the Employee Benefits Specialist staff position.
Connections Database Launched: Earlier this year, we launched a new database system called Connections. This database will optimize member management and streamline program information for staff.
New Claims System: In September, the Technology Committee approved the selection of Systema Software as the EIA’s new claims system. Systema should be in full use by July of 2013.
Workers Compensation Law Changes: Governor Brown signed SB 863 into law, changing liens, independent medical reviews, and independent bill reviews.
TargetSolutions Contract Extended: The EIA contract with TargetSolutions, our Loss Prevention and training platform, was extended 5 more years.
CAFR: The EIA was awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada for its comprehensive annual report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government’s CAFR must be easily readable and efficiently organized, as well as satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
Board of Directors Approved Amendments: Amendments were made to the Memorandums of Coverage for GLI and EWC, as well as Liability Claims Administration Guidelines (Addendum B).
Alliant Liaison: Recently, a full-time Alliant staff member has joined us here at the EIA office to act as a liaison between companies.
Happy Holidays from the EIA, and here’s to a Happy 2013!
