This 22nd edition of CompScope™ Benchmarks for Indiana helps policymakers and other system stakeholders identify current cost drivers and emerging trends in a wide variety of performance measures of state workers’ compensation systems. 

This report provides meaningful comparisons between Indiana and 17 other study states on key measures including income benefits, duration of temporary disability, lump-sum settlements, medical payments, and benefit delivery expenses. It also examines how these metrics have changed from 2015 to 2020. In some cases, we use a longer time frame to supply historical context for key metrics. 

Note that the results we report reflect experience on claims through March 2021, including non-COVID-19 claims only from the early pandemic period (March–September 2020). The study, therefore, provides a look at how the pandemic impacted non-COVID-19 workers’ compensation claims in the early months of the pandemic.
