Employee benefits are most commonly considered to be tax matters, but that's only part of the story. While we are skilled in handling all tax aspects of employee benefits, we also understand their impact on your business, and how you use them to attract and retain the best employees. So while employee benefits can be taxing, it truly is much more than that. At millisor + nobil, we believe it's about working with you to develop long term plans that meet your benefits objectives, so that you can focus on providing the best care to your patients.

We understand that the provider / patient relationship is a critical component of individualized care. We take a similar approach to our relationships with clients, because we customize our strategies and solutions to address your specific needs and deliver exceptional value.

millisor+nobil is uniquely equipped to be your employee benefits partner. Consider what we have to offer:

• We take a multi-disciplinary approach, combining tax expertise with labor/employment and HR experience to develop solutions to your retirement and medical benefits problems. In conjunction with our workers’ compensation team, we can assist you with wellness programs to keep your employees healthier and reduce your healthcare costs.
  
  
• Our employee benefits attorneys have the skills and expertise to perform a full top-down analysis. In addition to telling you what the law is, we'll tell you what the numbers are — and what they mean to your business.
  
  
• From accounting actuaries to insurance brokers, we will work effectively with your other advisors to help you create a low-cost solution. We can perform many of the services offered by other benefits professionals, so you have the option to consolidate with us. However, we often work closely with our clients’ full network of business professionals to provide creative, multifaceted solutions on your behalf. Our ultimate goal is to minimize your cost and risk while maximizing your success.
  
  
• We will give you clear estimates and project budgets for both money and time, so you can focus on providing top notch patient care.

Employers in the health care industry face unique risks that are often the catalyst for significantly increased workers’ compensation costs. Health care workers go to work every day in environments that present exposure to many different situations that could result in injury, including:

Exposure to infectious diseases
Workplace violence from combative patients
Slips and falls in an environment where the floors are often wet
Exposure to toxic chemicals

However, the single greatest risk facing health care employers involves patient care/lifting injuries. Nursing home workers, for example, are exposed to overexertion rates four times higher than all of private industry. Other health care providers, such as those in hospitals and home health care situations, face similar risks during the course of the work day.

In order to return to patient care, injured workers must have full recovery of their physical capabilities. The longer periods of disability and significantly higher costs that result are the single greatest impediment to effective claims management.

At millisor+nobil we understand the unique challenges faced by the health care employer, which is why we have created a cost avoidance/management program designed specifically for your unique environment.

The Prevention+ Workers’ Compensation Management Program

• Expert Investigation
  millisor + nobil experts determine compensability, extent of exposure and recovery possibilities.
  
  
• Establish Control

• Get the Claimant Back to Work
  millisor + nobil's team of experts works to limit the possible exposure and the loss of productivity for the employer while taking into consideration the well-being of the claimant.
  
  
• Get the File Closed
  millisor + nobil works to effectively end the costs of the occurrence and bring about a successful resolution.
  
  
• Aggressively Manage Litigation Cases

millisor + nobil recognizes that a proactive approach is necessary to effectively manage employment problems in the health care industry.
