Worker Compensation Claim Scoring for Return to Work
Predictive modeling can also used to identify likelihood of return to work given certain conditions or injuries. Claim scoring provides a numeric measurement – a 1 to 10 score – of the likelihood of a worker compensation claimant’s return to work within a specified timeframe. The higher the score, the greater the likelihood of return to work.
This accurate, objective measurement:
- Facilitates early intervention
- Enables claim experts to manage expected medical costs
- Realizes significant financial benefits
