Workers' Compensation Claims Adjuster

ProService Hawaii is looking for a Workers Compensation Claims Adjuster to own the full lifecycle of assigned indemnity claims - from first report through resolution. This is a high-visibility, client-facing role where youre trusted to make sound decisions, manage costs responsibly, and move claims forward with urgency and discipline.

What makes this role distinct from a traditional carrier environment is the level of ownership expected. Our adjusters operate in a highly visible, client-facing model every file is yours, and your results are visible.

IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL

• Manage a full caseload of approximately 90-100 active indemnity/lost time claims, driving each toward timely and cost-effective resolution

• Conduct thorough investigations, determine compensability, establish accurate reserves within 48 hours of assignment, and document clear, forward-looking claim strategies

• Actively manage medical treatment plans using evidence-based guidelines (ODG), initiate IMEs when appropriate, and coordinate return-to-work and vocational strategies to reduce indemnity duration

• Ensure strict compliance with Hawaii workers compensation statutes, regulatory deadlines, and benefit payments - maintaining zero missed deadlines and audit-ready files

• Prepare for and represent employer/carrier at hearings before the Hawaii DLIR, Disability Compensation Division

• Communicate proactively with employers, injured workers, attorneys, and medical providers - setting expectations early, explaining decisions clearly, and managing escalations with composure and authority

WHAT YOULL BRING TO THE TEAM

We dont measure candidates by resume alone. Were looking for people who hold themselves to a standard most dont, take feedback as fuel, and are wired to own their results. Proven success managing full-cycle workers compensation claims, including indemnity and litigated files, is required.

• Youve managed full-cycle indemnity claims and can point to outcomes you drove. Youve owned compensability decisions, defended reserve strategies, and guided complex files to resolution - and you can speak to the judgment calls you made along the way.

• You know Hawaii WC statutes and apply them with confidence. Statutory timelines, hearing procedures, compliance requirements - these arent things you look up every time. You stay current and flag risks before they become problems.

• You analyze medical documentation and push back when the evidence doesnt support the claim. You apply ODG and other treatment guidelines with credibility, challenge unsupported care, and know when an IME is the right move.

• Your files tell the full story. Your documentation doesnt just record what happened - it captures your rationale, your strategy, and your next steps. Audit-ready is your baseline.

• You maintain composure and professionalism under pressure. Difficult claimants, frustrated employers, opposing counsel - you manage those interactions with clarity and professionalism.

IS THIS ROLE RIGHT FOR YOU?

We want you to walk in with clear eyes, so heres an honest look at what this role is - and what it isnt.

This is a full-cycle indemnity claims role in a metrics-driven environment where performance standards are high and results are tracked closely. Youll be expected to manage a caseload of 90-100 active files, maintain a 1:1 or better new-to-closure ratio, and keep every diary current - all while staying ahead of statutory deadlines and delivering a strong client experience. Youll be given real responsibility and the room to exercise it - setting strategy, making decisions, and moving claims forward on your own terms within a team that supports your success.
