This study examines medical payments, prices, and utilization in Pennsylvania and compares them with 17 other states (Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin).

This report also focuses on some long-term trends in medical payments, prices, and utilization among the study states; factors driving those trends; and how Pennsylvania’s performance compared with that of other study states. 

This study covers 2009 to 2014, with claims experience through March 2015. Where relevant, findings from other Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) studies are added to provide a more complete picture of the system.
