WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE FOR MASSACHUSETTS MEMBERS
The Self Insured Lumber Businesses Association (SILBA) has been providing Workers’ Compensation Insurance to NRLA members in Massachusetts since 1992. With Workers’ Compensation Insurance premiums skyrocketing, a small group of industry members got together to find a better way to do business. The feeling then was the same as it is now – why should lumber dealers with good claims experience and loss-control programs be forced to pay the same high premium as everyone else? Since 1992, the original group of seven founding members has grown to 84 companies. SILBA members have enjoyed yearly dividends averaging 29 percent of paid premium, have earned more than $17 million in dividends, and pay lower initial premiums than conventional, fully-insured programs due to reduced administrative charges. For a 2006 SILBA Board of Trustees listing CLICK HERE. Contact NRLA at 800.292.6752 for more information or send an e-mail to Sandy Zelka .

NEW HIPAA REGULATIONS
The NRLA will no longer be able to contact members' health insurance carrier regarding their employees' coverage, claims, etc. without a signed authorization form from the individual employees themselves. Employees will have to call the insurance carrier directly for questions they may have, unless they complete the authorization form and send it to their health insurance carrier. However, we would be happy to contact the insurance carrier for your employees if they wish to complete the authorization form. We have them available at the NRLA office. If you have any questions, please send an e-mail to szelka@nrla.org or contact the NRLA at 800.292.6752.
