iCare launches open market tender for claims and injury management services.

This tender is for the procurement of claims and injury management services for the NSW Nominal Insurer workers compensation scheme.

This tender process follows the final 12-month extension to icare’s existing provider contracts ensuring stability as the tender process gets underway. Service providers who are successful will begin on 1 January 2023.

Freeze announced on eligible employers moving between claim service providers

icare has announced it will introduce a six-month freeze on employers moving between claim service providers (CSPs) while it finalises the open market tender for new CSPs.

For employers currently eligible to move between providers, the freeze will begin on 15 July 2022 and end on 1 January 2023 when the successful tenderers for claims management services are to begin operations.

By making this change, icare believes the freeze will minimise potential disruption over this transition period to the new claims model.
