What are the responsibilities and job description for the Claims Administrator - Med Only Claims position at Cottingham & Butler?
CBCS, a division of Cottingham & Butler, is growing — and we’re looking for driven individuals to join our Workers’ Compensation team as Claims Administrators. In this role, you’ll be trained to investigate, evaluate, and resolve medical-only claims while delivering the high‑quality service our clients expect.
No insurance experience? No problem. We will teach you the technical side — what matters most is your ability to think critically, communicate clearly, and take ownership of your work.
Responsibilities
As a Claims Administrator, you will manage a caseload of medical-only Workers’ Compensation claims from start to finish. Your core responsibilities include:
- Reviewing and evaluating medical-only claims to understand what occurred
- Communicating with injured workers, medical providers, and clients
- Documenting claim activity accurately and consistently following CBCS Best Practices
- Making timely decisions within your assigned authority to resolve claims efficiently
- Submitting required state EDI filings and supporting Medicare compliance
- Identifying when a claim should be upgraded for further investigation or lost‑time consideration
- Evaluating potential subrogation opportunities and escalating when appropriate
- Meeting performance benchmarks for contact, reserving, and claim closure
The ideal candidate will have prior experience in a business setting or prior claims handling experience, a competitive spirit, and thrive in a fast-paced professional business environment. If you come from an insurance background that’s great! However, we understand that most people don’t which is why we are willing to train you on the technical details. It’s more important to us that you embody the right personal characteristics. While we don’t expect you to be perfect in every aspect of the job right away, the aforementioned traits are essential for success in the role.
