CompScope™ Benchmarks, 16th Edition provides a comprehensive study that benchmarks the performance of state workers’ compensation systems. CompScope™ examines the key cost drivers in workers’ compensation claims and provides analysis as to which system features may impact those costs. For the first time, Kentucky is included in this annual study. This 16th edition focuses on income benefits, overall medical payments, costs, use of benefits, duration of disability, litigiousness, benefit delivery expenses, timeliness of payment, and other metrics. It compares these metrics in Kentucky with 17 other states and examines how these system performance metrics have changed over time, using data with experience through the first quarter of 2015.
