During the recent period of high inflation in the general economy, states experienced varying rates in growth in workers’ compensation medical prices depending on what methods were used to update workers’ compensation fee schedules, according to a WCRI analysis. The research—which examines how the high inflation period between 2021 and 2023 has affected medical payments in workers’ compensation in 2025—indicates that, since the summer of 2022 through the first quarter of 2025, the general inflation rate has been slowing down, after two years (2021-2022) of substantial growth in prices.
