Delaware: Workers’ Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) latest study reports that medical payments per workers’ compensation claim in Delaware rose by 7% annually from 2021 to 2023. The increase was driven by higher prices for professional services and hospital outpatient care, with the state’s fee schedule contributing to sustained growth. The analysis explores these trends in the context of system reforms, claim composition changes, inflation, and pandemic-related impacts. Focused exclusively on non-COVID-19 claims, the study provides comparative insights for policymakers and stakeholders.
