This annual study compares prices paid for medical professional services across 36 states from 2008 to 2025. It focuses on services commonly billed by physicians, physical therapists, and chiropractors, such as evaluation and management, physical medicine, surgery, radiology, neurological testing, pain management injections, and emergency care.
Unlike broader health care indices, this report is a more relevant benchmark of medical inflation in workers’ compensation because it focuses on services typically provided to injured workers. It also offers a state-level price index to help policymakers and stakeholders compare prices and track trends tied to changes in fee schedules.
This edition covers 36 states, representing 88 percent of workers’ compensation benefits paid in the United States: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
