Non-fee-schedule states pay 41% to 188% above the median for the same workers' compensation medical services, according to WCRI's Medical Price Index.
The variance is not about quality, it is about pricing leverage. States with active fee schedules anchor reimbursement to a defensible benchmark. States without them leave employers and carriers exposed to bill charges that vary by region, by facility, and by service line.
Atlas built its bill review and PPO strategy to attack the variance directly. The team applies fee schedule logic where it exists and benchmarks aggressively where it does not. The savings on a multi-state book often surprise risk managers who assumed their carrier was already doing this.
WCRI's research, summarized in Risk & Insurance, makes the case better than any sales deck.
If you operate across multiple states, are you measuring savings against the right benchmark in each one?
