California Workers’ Comp Reforms May Have Decreased Medical
Elements of California’s workers’ compensation reform law passed in 2012 may have contributed to the state’s 2013 and 2014 decreases in medical payments per workers’ comp claim, according to a study from the Workers Compensation Research Institute.
The study, CompScope Benchmarks for California, 16th Edition, focuses on income benefits, overall medical payments, costs per claim, duration of disability, litigiousness, benefit delivery expenses, timeliness of payment, and other metrics.
