«Coventry result-doing quite well |Main | Comp Conference … » What is driving the cost of California’s comp
I have the honour to have the European marine casualty actuarial Society annual CWCI fills in this morning’s Alex Swedlow with co-presenting. Alex shared CWCI: the latest research findings on California’s work comp system and, in particular, the impact of the directives set out in annex II under the influence.
Some of the News was rather frightening and some encouraging.

Sticking with the positive: n analysis mentioned CWCI reforms, according to the system costs drove to don 13-25 billion dollars in the years 2005 to 2008. costs is unfortunately once again normally their rising, in part, that the mileage pharma now accounts for 13% of the work comp medical costs in California.
