WCRI’s Medical Price Index for Workers' Compensation now available
The national medical price index is a poor measure of workers’ comp price inflation in most states, says a new 25-state study from the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI).
Unlike the consumer price index for medical care (CPI-M), which measures general prices paid for medical services, WCRI’s Medical Price Index for Workers' Compensation, Fifth Edition (MPI-WC) focuses only on the prices paid for the medical care that injured workers receive under their state’s workers’ compensation system.
