A common phone call I get is to let me know a worker has reported symptoms that could be work related, but they also have a pre-existing condition. How should you respond to this? 

In this episode I share the biggest mistake employers make when facing a pre-existing condition and how you can avoid it to save thousands of dollars on WCB premiums. 

In addition, we'll discuss should you manage the claim, how best to do so, and get rid of the myths that could hurt you. 

Other things we'll discuss are:

2:30: What is a pre-existing condition?
4:40: How should you deal with a pre-existing condition?
12:10 Aggravation of a pre-existing condition
16:21: Responding to different scenarios
18:05: The process
