This study can help policymakers and other stakeholders identify current cost drivers and emerging trends in payments, prices, and utilization of medical services provided for treating workers with injuries in the Massachusetts workers’ compensation system. It examines medical payments, prices, and utilization for various types of services by nonhospital and hospital providers in Massachusetts and compares them with 17 other states. Claims with experience through March 2019 for injuries up to and including 2018 were analyzed. In some cases, a longer time frame was used to supply historical context for key metrics. Information from other WCRI studies was included to provide a more complete picture of the system in Massachusetts.
