ELEVATE® Conference

ELEVATE® Conference® -- In May 2024, Work Comp professionals gathered for an unforgettable experience at the 2024 ELEVATE Workers’ Compensation & Leadership Conference. Along with host company Akeso Occupational Health and proud Diamond Sponsor HUB International, we "Sailed into Summer" in the stunning setting of San Diego's Marriott Marquis. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, volunteers, and presenters for their invaluable participation. We kicked off the conference with our 2nd Annual Karaoke For A Cause event, benefiting Hazel’s Hands. This electrifying evening combined networking, music, and philanthropy, setting a new standard for charitable events and creating unforgettable memories with our guests. ELEVATE® is dedicated to advancing Workers’ Compensation by tackling the system’s most significant challenges and inspiring leaders to make a meaningful impact.

A physician reviewer is a fast, effective way to assist the healing worker and frustrated treating physician with the worker’s comp system. They are very helpful in working with specialist physicians, who normally don’t or won’t take workers’ compensation, by acting as a liaison between all parties and ensuring reports, RFA’s and other paperwork is completed appropriately reducing delays.

Great meeting the CorVel Corporation team AND winning my new boat to kickoff the holiday weekend. Who wants a tour of San Diego bay? ⚓️🌴 Thanks Sarah Tait and Gabriella Hubbard for the raffle gift!
