At the request of several member counties, the Utah Counties Insurance Pool started the Workers Compensation Program January 1, 2004. The feasibility and actuarial studies confirmed that the Pool could provide coverage to its members at a reduced rate. For the Programs initial startup, the Pool hired an expert third-party administrator, Alternative Service Concepts , to provide prompt, accurate claims service. As of January 1, 2007, UCIP hired Susan Gonce and brought claims handling, claims assistance and training in-house. UCIP has also hired Kathy Stone as the claims assistant.

Brody Parker was hired by the Utah Counties Insurance Pool on June 1, 2004 as the Workers' Compensation Safety Specialist.  Brody has implemented a “Safety Value” among county employees and management to reduce accidents and control costs.  This value is obtained by safety program development and training that offers both basic safety and department specific safety throughout Utah 's counties.  Safety excellence generates value in all aspects of the business, and enhances home and job safety.
