WCRI Publishes New Comparative Study of 12 States Including Pennsylvania

The Workers' Compensation Research Institute released its CompScope™ Benchmarks: Multistate Comparisons, 1994-2000 comparing 12 states' workers' compensation programs, including Pennsylvania's. The only information contained in the abstract is that benefit delivery expenses remain at a double digit level (between 12 and 15 per cent) and continue to increase at a double-digit rate. An Insurance Journal Article reports Illinois apparently performed worst in the survey.
