Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting represents the initial stage of the Dispute Resolution process. At troubleshooting, a Claims Resolution Specialist (CRS) informally attempts to resolve controversies by contacting the employer and the employee. Many times, additional information, often medical reports, must be obtained in order to facilitate a resolution. The Claims Resolution Specialist functions as a neutral in the system providing assistance and information. If the parties are not able to resolve the dispute at this stage, the claim is referred to the next step, mediation.
