This 16th edition of the CompScope™ Benchmarks study focuses on income benefits, overall medical payments, use of benefits, duration of disability, benefit delivery expenses, timeliness of payment, and other metrics. It examines how these metrics have changed over time and how Minnesota compares with other states. This study covers the time period of 2009 to 2014, with claims’ experience through March 2015. It encompasses a one-year snapshot of the Minnesota system after the implementation of several system changes in 2013 that were directed at medical, indemnity, and vocational rehabilitation benefits, and prior to the implementation of new hospital inpatient fee regulations that became effective in January 2016.
