Department Descriptions

Underwriting

New Mexico Mutual underwriters evaluate the risk of accidents and injuries at businesses that apply for coverage. Based on these evaluations, they calculate the amount of premium that will be required to cover the risk. We rely on their expertise to help us maintain a healthy balance between the preservation of our company’s financial stability and the well-being of those we insure.

Claims

Claims adjusters coordinate and manage the covered benefits and services our company provides to injured workers. They investigate on-the-job accidents and consult with medical experts to determine the types of services required. They also authorize and monitor care throughout the recovery process, working closely with health care providers and medical case managers.

Business Analytics

This department analyzes vast amounts of raw data to uncover hidden business trends and patterns. Data analytics can also pinpoint waste, allowing us to capture additional resources for injured workers. New Mexico Mutual bases many of its business decisions on the information data analysts provide.

Corporate Governance

Working with our Board of Directors, the Corporate Governance department sets the rules and practices that guide our company’s conduct. The department serves as our moral compass, overseeing key areas including ethics, regulatory compliance, legal affairs, government relations and more.

Marketing

New Mexico Mutual’s marketing team orchestrates a wide range of activities. They include strategic planning, data analysis, business development, agency relations management, branding, corporate communications, media relations, social media and special events. The department also acts as a liaison between our company and several insurance industry associations and business groups.

Risk & Safety

The certified specialists in this department work with policyholders to keep their workplaces safe and accident-free. In addition to performing on-site risk assessments, they provide a wealth of training on the diverse safety needs of many industries.

Finance & Accounting

Finance and accounting professionals safeguard our financial strength to ensure that we can continue to meet the needs of our policyholders and injured workers. They manage our company’s budgeting, financial reporting and forecasting functions.

Premium Audit

At the end of each policy year, premium auditors recalculate the estimated premiums that policyholders paid throughout the year. The new calculations reflect any business changes that may have occurred, such as the hiring of new workers. Depending on the type of changes, policyholders may receive a refund or be billed additional premium once the audit is complete.

Information Technology

New Mexico Mutual’s business-savvy IT team develops and maintains the secure, sophisticated systems we use to manage, process and store information. Working in an increasingly complex field, team members handle everything from hardware and software to databases, servers, communications and more. We also rely on the IT department to help us identify key trends, become more efficient and provide better customer care.

HR & Administration

HR professionals handle the full gamut of employment-related activities, from strategic planning and recruiting to benefits, training, compensation and more. They also develop programs and experiences designed to promote holistic wellness and create an engaging, fulfilling workplace environment. Administrative professionals manage a variety of business functions including planning, operations, accounting and finance, and others.

Provider Relations

Provider Relations professionals build and maintain strong relationships with the healthcare providers in our statewide provider network. New Mexico Mutual contracts with these providers to help us deliver excellent, cost-effective care to injured workers. The network includes medical providers, acute occupational care facilities, hospitals, surgical centers, rehabilitation centers and pharmacies.
