ICRMA offers statutory workers' compensation coverage to its members through a combination of self-insurance and excess insurance. Members contribute annually based on actuarially determined losses, administrative expenses, and excess insurance.
ICRMA's Workers' Compensation Program Manager ensures effective claims management by providing oversight, conducting periodic claim file reviews, reporting losses to the excess carrier, and evaluating the performance of the program TPA.
To accommodate different risk appetites, each public agency can determine the level of risk they are comfortable with. For the 2024-2025 program year, the ICRMA pooled retention is set at $1 million. The chart below illustrates how the various loss layers are funded from the members' retentions through the excess insurance.

Nurse Triage
When an employee is injured, he/she is instructed by the member to call the Nurse Triage line at (877) 223-9310. A registered nurse completes a series of triage questions which will determine whether or not a medical referral to the city’s industrial clinic needs to be made. A copy of the report generated by the nurse is e-mailed to the City contact, ICRMA’s program manager, and to the city’s TPA.
