Retirement Planning

CCMSI is proud to be an employee-owned company. CCMSI’s savings and retirement benefits are designed to help you reach your future retirement goals.

The plans include:

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

The ESOP is designed to provide beneficial ownership of CCMSI stock to employees after one year of employment–the people who are primarily responsible for CCMSI’s success. Beneficial ownership means that employees do not directly own shares of CCMSI stock, but employees do have shares held by the ESOP that are specifically allocated to them.

The ESOP is intended to provide employees with a meaningful stake in CCMSI, additional economic security and, ultimately, an additional source of retirement income. The ESOP gives employees a unique opportunity to acquire a beneficial ownership interest in CCMSI stock at no direct cost to them.

The benefits employees receive from the ESOP will depend, to a great extent, on CCMSI’s profitability and the employee’s length of employment with CCMSI. In general, the longer an employee remains with CCMSI, the greater their interest in the ESOP will be. CCMSI hopes that this beneficial ownership opportunity will give employees a personal interest in CCMSI’s success.

401(K) Retirement Plan Services

CCMSI’s 401(k) is an auto-enrolled program in which all employees are eligible for a pre-tax deduction to save toward their retirement through a voluntary 401(k) account.

Development

CCMSI employs over 1,400 dedicated, loyal, and talented individuals in 34 offices across the United States. We encourage them to broaden their knowledge and skills, to keep current with changes in insurance education and to increase their potential for assuming greater responsibility.

Continuing Education

CCMSI encourages and supports our staff with continued education. Whether it is in their respective Workers’ Compensation and/or Liability fields or CCMSI’s corporate divisions, we are focused on our employee’s career development by assisting with their education programs and associated testing and licensing fees.

Job Skills Training

In addition, we offer employees the opportunities to broaden skills needed to excel in their current role. Claims, Underwriting, IT/Systems and Financial Services are just a few of the many areas where job skills training are available.

Employee Testimonials

I actually first interviewed with CCMSI in 1997 at the suggestion of Dan Eversole in the St. Louis office. He and I worked together previously at a small monoline workers’ compensation carrier before he came to CCMSI in 1995 and we had kept in touch over those few years. Following my initial interview in 1997, I decided to stay put at my then-current company for a while, but eventually re-interviewed at CCMSI in 2001. Dan had actually called me in 2001 to ask about an adjuster we had both worked with previously who had applied at CCMSI. He mentioned casually that there was also a Claim Supervisor position open at CCMSI, but said, “But I don’t suppose you’re interested in that.” I told him that he shouldn’t be so sure…

I started at CCMSI as a Claims Supervisor in August 2001 and became Claims Manager a year or so later. Following the acquisition/consolidation of NGS, OHMS and MSUSA in 2002-2003, I was asked to become a member of the new Corporate Claim Committee. It sounded like a great opportunity to work with people in other regions and have the chance to help develop and expand the Corporate Claim Best Practices for the company. There were 6 of us on the original CCC back in 2003 and 4 of those original 6 are still on the CCC 12 years later! This is a great testimonial to the culture of CCMSI. We often talk about the tenure of our employees and clients and how important that can be to the organization. I believe the tenure of all the current CCC members allows us to make quicker progress on important issues.

CCMSI has given me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients, small and large. I have been able to handle claims, supervise claims and work with clients in an account management role. It would have been hard to imagine when I started that CCMSI would have some of the large regional and national clients we have now. For me personally, I’ve been able to become involved with clients and our company in ways that I could have never imagined 14 years ago. We have all seen the complexity of handling claims for our clients increase over the years due to a variety of reasons – Medicare, financial crisis & cyber-attacks. Because we do what we do, CCMSI helps our clients through these dangerous waters, and I like being a part of that.

Bill Aherns

Claims Manager & Account Manager, St. Louis, MO

I initially started working for CCMSI is November of 2009 and left in October of 2013. I really enjoyed the company, employees, and work environment. I went to pursue other opportunities. I didn’t realize at the time how important benefits and work environment truly were to overall happiness with employment. I was fortunate to come back in July of 2018 as Underwriter in Metairie, LA office once again and have since been promoted to an Underwriter II position. I swear I had trouble keeping the smile on my face each morning coming into the new and much nicer building that they relocated in after my initial departure. CCMSI benefits are amazing and one of kind if you ask me, and I have worked for couple of different companies and those companies overall benefits and employee satisfaction didn’t even compare. I was not shocked to see CCMSI get a “Great Place to Work” certification. The managers and HR department really go out of their way to make sure each employee is taken care of and request feedback on how they can improve. The overall growth and expansion of this company since I left has amazed me as well. The number of clients and members that have joined or stayed with CCMSI is testimonial itself to the reason we are a leader among third party administrators. Working with CCMSI has given me the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients and gain further experience and knowledge that helps me grow into a more experienced Underwriter. Realizing that you are part of an organization that takes care of it clients and employees makes this a wonderful place to work.

Kirk Evans

Underwriter II, Metairie, LA

I have been with CCMSI for going on 10 years. I started out in the Bill Processing Unit and moved to the Claims Department as a Medical Only adjuster after three years in billing. After another three years in Medical Only I decided to make the jump to indemnity through the Level up program. The room for advancement was very appealing as I wanted to continue my growth within the company. The program definitely sets you up to succeed. Starting as a Claim Associate I allows you to familiarize yourself with the system, by reviewing medical records and bills, and it also eases you into the claims process. You get the opportunity to start interviewing claimants, learning the state forms, and getting used to frequent client communication without having the full claim load of a Claim Representative. I was in the Claim Associate I position for right at 12 months and then I was promoted to a Claim Associate II. This was a smooth transition because I felt that I had been in the Claim Associate I position for the right amount of time to really feel more comfortable with my claim load and it allowed me to gradually increase the amount of files and jurisdictions I was handling. After being in the Claim Associate II position it was a fast progression. I was promoted to a Claim Representative after 4 months. I feel that being able to transition through the Level Up program definitely prepared me to be in the Claim Representative Position that I currently am in.

Workers' Compensation Claim Representative I, Danville, IL

I was hired into the Level Up program on 11/9/20. Upon my hire, I was enrolled in CCMSI-U for training along with amazing support and training from my team. With all the resources available, it makes it very easy to succeed. Thanks to Level Up along with hard work, I was able to be promoted to a Level Up 2 on 5/10/21 and then to a Claim Representative as of 8/16/21. I would highly recommend Level Up to anyone who is interested in making a career for themselves with CCMSI.
