This is the first CompScope™ Medical Benchmarks study for Georgia and the 16th edition of an annual study that examines payments, prices, and utilization of medical care received by injured workers in state workers’ compensation systems. This study examines these metrics of medical costs and care in Georgia and compares them with 16 other states (Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin) in the CompScope™ Medical Benchmarks study series. It also monitors how these metrics have changed for services delivered from 2008 to 2014 in Georgia as well as in the other 16 study states.
