In this hour-long webinar, Dr. Bogdan Savych discussed findings from the WCRI study Workers’ Compensation Medical Prices and Outcomes of Injured Workers and took questions from the audience. 

The study is the first to combine surveys of injured workers with claims data to provide a comprehensive look at the relationship between workers’ compensation prices for medical services and the outcomes that workers experience after a work-related injury.

Questions Addressed:

• How are changes in workers’ compensation prices related to the outcomes that workers experience after work-related injuries, including measures of access to care, amount of care received, recovery of health and functioning, return to work, and duration of disability?
• How does the impact of prices on outcomes vary based on whether workers’ compensation prices are substantially below or above prices paid by group health insurers?
• What is the predicted change in outcomes when prices increase or decrease?

This recorded webinar is $25 for non-members and FREE for WCRI members, members of the press, legislators as well as their staff, and state public officials who make policy decisions regarding workers’ compensation.
