05/19/21 WorkersCompensation.com Cambridge, MA (WorkersCompensation.com) - The Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) released an updated version of its study that helps compare prices paid for medical professional services across 36 states and monitor price changes from 2008 to 2020, which includes the beginning months of the COVID-19 pandemic. “The study shows how prices paid for these services compare across states, how the prices have changed, and whether price growth is part of a broader phenomenon or unique to a state. The study also discusses the price comparison results and price trends in relation to the principal policy mechanism for regulating prices—fee schedules,” said Ramona Tanabe, WCRI's executive vice president and counsel.
