Expansion of CRM’s
Case Management Unit
We are excited to announce that due to the continued success and growth of our Case
Management Unit we have hired three new nurses to join our Case Management Team.
Ms. Ashley Johanneson, LPN and Ms. Christina Robertson, LPN will work closely with and
under the direction of the TCM Unit Supervisor, Ms. Shelly Swed, RN, CWC. Ms. Swed has
in excess of 15 years of case management experience with a concentration in workers’
compensation. We are also excited to announce that we are now offering Field Nurse Case
Management in the Tampa Bay Area. Ms. Lauren Lowe, RN, CDMS, CWC is transitioning to
the role of Field Nurse Case Manager and will provide this valuable service to those claims
that require in-person consultation.
Commercial Risk Management’s case management works in conjunction with the adjuster
and employer to facilitate the appropriate medical care while recognizing, questioning, and
managing co-morbidities or other unrelated medical conditions. Our case managers can
assist in eliminating the need for unnecessary or unrelated treatment, prolonged lost time
and in many cases, legal involvement. Utilizing case management at the appropriate time
and on the appropriate claims is an integral tool for controlling medical expenditures and
consequently, indemnity exposure. Our Case Managers report directly to the adjuster and
the adjuster remains involved and completely in control of the direction of your claims.
Commercial Risk Management has an established referral criteria to assist in identifying
claims that could benefit by the Case Management Unit. However, we also offer
customized referral criteria that are unique to your business needs. Have questions or would
like more information about the services our Case Management Unit offers? Contact
Jennifer Moyer, Executive Vice President, CWCL, at jmoyer@crm-su.com, or by phone at
813-289-3900, ext. 306.
CRM’s Annual Client Dinner at the
Claims Management & Leadership Conference
2020 brought many disappointments and cancellations of many exciting events, including
WCCP’s Claims Management & Leadership Conference in Bonita Springs, and our Annual
Client Dinner at this conference. 2021 was a different story. Everyone was excited and
more than ready to return to this wonderful conference and to our annual dinner. The
dinner was held in the Cove, a private room, at Tarpon Bay Restaurant. It was a wonderful
evening of dining and socializing with many of our clients to include W.S. Badcock
Corporation, Pasco County, City of Cape Coral, Cleveland Clinic/Martin Memorial,
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, NCH Healthcare, Brooks Health System, and agents
with BKS Partners. Also in attendance were special friends, Stacy Hosman and Tanyea
Griffin. The food was amazing and the company was even better. We hope to see many of
our clients next year for another wonderful evening.

CRM Continuing Education
As the world begins to open, we still have not quite gotten back to business as usual. We are lucky
to have great partners who have come up with creative ways to keep us educated. We have been
dazzled by the musical genius, Wesley Heim in Workers’ Comp the Musical, had a double
feature with Fighting Fraud in WC and Medical Noncompliance, and also learned about Social Media
Solutions for the Innovative Adjuster in a webinar with our host Kevin Lederer.
We are looking forward to hosting in person CEUs very soon.
