IWP (Injured Workers' Pharmacy)'s weekly State of the States reports:

The Workers’ Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) announced an upcoming webinar and released a new report:

  • WCRI will host a webinar on April 30 to discuss the 2026 edition of its CompScope Benchmarks. The webinar will examine how workers’ compensation costs are evolving across 18 study states, including the extent of cost growth and whether most states are experiencing increases in total costs per claim and across key cost components. The session will last 30 minutes, from 2:00–2:30 p.m. ET, and registration is now open.
  • WCRI released Use and Cost of Air Ambulance Transport Services in Workers’ Compensation FlashReport, examining how often air ambulance services are used and how much they cost across 32 states. The study finds that air ambulance transport is used infrequently in workers’ compensation claims but plays a critical role in severe and life‑threatening injuries, particularly in rural areas.

They helpfully provide links, which you can use to find out more details.
