The first report in the CWCI’s latest 4-part research series on California workers’ comp reform outcomes finds that the average amount paid for medical cost containment (e.g. medical bill review, medical case management, UR and network fees) continue to increase, though preliminary data from accident years 2006 and 2007 show overall medical payments per claim, which declined sharply from 2002 to 2005, were up in AY 2006 and 2007. The full report on the study is posted in the Research section of the website, and CWCI members and subscribers may download a summary bulletin on the report from the Member section.
