FAQ

MVP Operates under the Employer of Record (EOR) model. We place our client’s employees on our payroll and are solely responsible for handling all personnel functions including processing payroll, depositing/filing taxes, handling unemployment, providing workers’ compensation, and issuing W-2’s. Our clients still instruct the work of the employees and those employees are still considered workers for the original hiring company. We do not recruit, hire, or terminate the employees. 

2. What is required for MVP to produce a quote?

In order to get a quote started, the following is required: a valid W-9 form, 3 years of workers’ compensation loss runs, Insurance DEC Page showing workers compensation codes, total wages per code by year, and an Experience MOD form from NCCI (if MOD is not on DEC page). Once we receive this information, we can start the underwriting process.

3. How long does the underwriting process take?

If everything is included in the quote package, we can normally turn a quote around in 3 business days.

4. How does MVP come up with their pricing?

Our underwriting process mixes science and art; we look at the history of the operators, their historical losses, their workers’ compensation codes, estimated payroll, and what states the employees operate in. Other factors that can determine the final price include whether a deductible is offered and if payment terms are requested. Clients either receive an all-in quote where the codes are bundled by category or they will receive a price on a code-by-code basis.

When it comes to paying employees, our goal is to be 100% electronic.  Those payment options include money cards and ACH Deposits.  When necessary, paper checks can be issued as well. Our employees usually get paid weekly. 

6. What does the claims management process look like for MVP?

Upon an injury, the on-site complete an Initial Injury Report that gets transmitted over to our corporate office. Upon receipt, the form is entered into our database and then sent to our Third-Party Administrator, Gallagher Basset. 

7. Does MVP use any Third-Party Administrators (TPA’s) to handle claims?

17. Where can MVP do business?

Since MVP operates under an EOR model, we can provide workers’ compensation in any state that is non-monopolistic.  The states we cannot provide workers’ compensation in are North Dakota, Ohio, Washington, and Wyoming. However, we can arrange an ASO agreement where we issue your payroll in these states. These ASO agreements would only be marked up by a small administrative fee. Regarding workers’ compensation in those states, we can help you secure additional workers’ compensation specifically for the business they are writing in those states.
