Mastering Medical Settlements

Designed to equip professionals in the workers’ compensation industry with the insights and strategies needed to navigate complex medical settlement scenarios, this course represents a robust educational partnership between Ametros and WorkCompCollege.com.

The “Mastering Medical Settlements” course covers essential topics in Medicare Set-Asides (MSAs), settlement best practices, post-settlement realities, and administrative options, offering practical knowledge for effective case management and client support. Participants will gain insight into the benefits and challenges of MSA administration, balancing professional versus self-administration, and the critical steps to avoid common pitfalls in settlements.

Technology Essentials Certification

Technology Essentials (ATEC-TE) is a certification program within the Advanced Training & Education Center designed to provide a foundational understanding of the technology increasingly embedded into the claims process. As new apps, processes and acronyms are discussed within companies and the broader industry, ATEC-TE graduates will be equipped to better understand the implications to their tasks. While students will not be an IT expert upon completion of the coursework, they will be more adaptable to advancements in technology.

The eight modules within the ATEC-TE curriculum follow technology through the workflow of a claim and provide insights from experts with the domain knowledge and practical experience to explain it to non-technical work comp stakeholders.

Each resource provides one WCC Continuing Education (CE) credit. For WRP graduates, the WCC CE credits provided contribute towards the re-certification process.

ATEC is a subscription service available to anyone invested in their own professional development. At $29.95 per month, it can be started or canceled at any time.
