CompScope™ Benchmarks for Michigan, 10th Edition

CompScope™ benchmarks provide the most meaningful comparisons currently available for more than 60 system performance measures for fifteen large states. The states in this 10th edition of CompScope™—California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin—represent over 50 percent of the nation’s workers’ compensation benefit payments.  

This comprehensive reference book provides useful information on two central questions:

·         How does the performance of a state system compare with that of other states?

·         How is workers' compensation system performance changing over time?

This report can help policymakers and others benchmark state system performance or a company’s workers’ compensation program. The benchmarks also provide an excellent baseline for tracking the effectiveness of policy changes and identifying important trends. Comparisons are more meaningful than those commonly seen, because they measure how different systems would perform if a similar set of claims were dropped into each system.
