Broadspire is the designated third-party administrator (TPA) for Work First Casualty Company, a workers’ comp insurer. While Broadspire normally conducts its own internal bill review for claims Broadspire administers, for bills payable by Work First Casualty, Broadspire uses EK Health as the bill review vendor.

Why the alert? Because when sending bills for employers insured by Work First Casualty, Broadspire instructs providers to send bills to a different mailing address and to use a different EDI clearinghouse and payer ID when transmitting bills electronically.

In order for a provider to properly route a bill to Broadspire, the provider must always ask the Broadspire adjuster where to send bills for the injured worker. The answer should be one of the following:

1. To Broadspire or

2. To EK Health

In order to receive payment, Broadspire forces providers to spend resources to determine an employer’s underlying workers’ comp insurance. This forced contortion is exactly the reason providers will not treat injured workers. It is just too damn difficult to get paid.
