CRM Appoints New Calif. Claims Account Coordinator

Compensation Risk Managers of California LLC (CRM) announced the appointment of Edward Low as the firm’s new claims account coordinator for California.

Low has extensive experience in workers’ compensation insurance coverage as a claims examiner. In his new position with CRM, he will work directly with CRM’s third-party claims administrator in California and will report to Senior Account Coordinator Therese Frost.

“The acquisition of Eddie Low to our California program brings a high level of technical expertise to work with and support our Claims TPA and Matrix Absence Management,” said Adam Strong, vice president of Claims for CRM. “In addition, Eddie will provide account coordination services for select members.”

Low has served in several previous California workers’ comp insurance industry positions. As a workers’ comp insurance representative with the State Compensation Insurance Fund in West Los Angeles, he was selected “Rookie of the Year” in 1991 and cited as one of the top adjusters of the Fund in 1992.

CRM began operating in California in 2003. Presently, CRM offers four separate and distinct workers’ comp programs in California that serve workers in the construction, plastics manufacturing, franchised auto dealers and health care industries.

All four of these programs are approved and regulated by the California Department of Industrial Relations and operate as Contractors Access Program of California (CAP), Plastics Manufacturers Self Insurance Program (PMSIP), Preferred Auto Dealers Self Insurance Program (PADSIP) and the Healthcare Industry Self Insurance Program of California (HISIP).
