DENVER—Colorado lawmakers will review documents from a workers compensation insurer after a state senator said the company may have paid bonuses to employees for denying claims.
Executives of Pinnacol Assurance are scheduled to appear Friday before a committee examining the practices of the state-chartered company.
Democratic state Sen. Morgan Carroll of Aurora, the committee chairwoman, says company documents indicate Pinnacol paid bonuses to claims adjusters and doctors based on performance standards that included net income targets.
Carroll says the documents show the workers were also rewarded based on how fast they disposed of claims.
Pinnacol has said it won’t comment until its officials appear before the committee.
