NYSIF Launches New Policy Mobile App

The New York State Insurance Fund (NYSIF), the state's largest workers' compensation insurance provider, has launched a new Policy Mobile App that enables its workers' compensation policyholders to quickly and easily manage their policies on the go.

"Our new Policy Mobile App is designed to enable NYSIF workers' compensation policyholders to obtain key information about their policies and quickly complete many of the most commonly requested policy management functions wherever they are," said NYSIF Executive Director and CEO Gaurav Vasisht. "This app is the latest example of NYSIF's commitment to use technology to help meet the needs of our policyholders and make it easier for them to do business with NYSIF."

The Business Council of New York State President and CEO Heather Mulligan said, "The Business Council supports this innovative use of technology to help employers manage workers' compensation insurance on behalf of its employees. Any effort that empowers employers to provide care and access information more efficiently is applauded."

Designed based on extensive data analysis of the most common business needs, the new app enables NYSIF policyholders to easily:

• view monthly statements, account histories and policy alerts, and receive audit notifications;
• securely pay insurance premiums; create, manage and review certificates of insurance; update address and contact information, and view premium payment dates and amounts.

The app also provides policyholders with one-touch access to underwriter contact information and the ability to email or call their underwriter and create a NYSIF online account. Workers' compensation policyholders can download the free NYSIF Policy Mobile App via one convenient QR code. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices.
