This 20th edition of CompScope™ Medical Benchmarks for Louisiana can help policymakers and other stakeholders in the system to identify current cost drivers and emerging trends in payments, prices, and utilization of medical services among nonhospital and hospital providers.

In this report, we examine medical payments per claim, prices, and utilization in Louisiana and compare them with 17 other states. The study also examines how these metrics of medical costs and care have changed, mainly from 2012 to 2017, for claims at an average of 12 months of experience. We analyzed claims with experience through 2018 for injuries up to and including 2017. In some cases we used a longer time frame to supply historical context for key metrics.
