Benchmarking and Predictive Analytics

Nodal Medical Benchmarking

Combat rising workers’ compensation insurance costs with data-driven benchmarks and targeted early intervention.

The challenge

Workers’ compensation claims are increasingly expensive, with limited visibility into comparable group health benchmarks

On average, WC payers spend 60 to 100% more than Group Health payers for the same conditions. Despite the critical nature of medical management, WC payers have little insight into their peers in Group Health.

The solution

Leverage Milliman’s proprietary group health benchmarks to identify excessive medical spending in WC

Nodal Medical Benchmarking helps clients compare WC outcomes to Group Health for the same conditions on a risk-adjusted basis. These benchmarks are based on Milliman’s proprietary Group Health database. These benchmarks bring transparency and allow WC payers to identify opportunities to reduce medical costs.

Milliman Nodal named 2023 Innovation Award winner
