4 CONNECTING THE DOTS
5 Understanding the Components Risk Management Workers Compensation Experience Modification Factor OSHA Recordability Rates Worksite Wellness Modifiable Risk Factors Health Plan Claims / Rates Absenteeism Disability Costs
6 Market Trends Workers compensation is the loss leader in property/casualty segment 120% combined loss ratio expected in 2012 Business non-renewed Risk appetite suppressed Insurers pushing rate increases Dividend plans reduced/not offered
7 Call for a Strategic Response Frequency improvements no longer sufficient to offset increases in medical costs and severity of claims. Medical costs per claim continue to increase Expensive surgical procedures Co-morbidities related to obesity and aging workforce increasing Increase in number of PTD claims
8 If Food Were Health Care
9 Population Management Risk factors per every 100 employees 31 use alcohol excessively 6 are diabetic 30 have high cholesterol 26 have high blood pressure 25 have cardiovascular disease 21 smoke 24 don t exercise Risk Factors 20 are over age don t wear seatbelts 44 suffer from stress 38 are overweight Source: Department of Health and Human Services
10 Median 12-Month Medical
11 Obesity Trends* Among U.S. Adults (*BMI 30, or about 30 lbs. overweight for 5 4 person) Source: Center for Disease Control (CDC) No Data <10% 10% 14% 15% 19% 20% 24% 25% 29% 30%
12 Study Says: Obesity Increases Workers' Compensation Costs A Duke University Medical Center analysis found that obese workers: Filed twice the number of workers' compensation claims Had seven times higher medical costs from those claims Lost 13 times more days of work from work injury or work illness than did non-obese workers
13 Obesity NCCI Study WC medical claims open for one year cost three times as much when the injured employee is obese Claims that are open for five years are five times more costly when involving an obese claimant Cost differential can be even greater for smaller claims
14 Why at the Worksite? Worksite may contribute to the problem Reduce/control costs Decrease absenteeism Improve productivity Improve recruitment and retention efforts Captive audience
15 The Many Advantages of Wellness A study by U.S. Corporate Wellness says the average results of an employee wellness plan include: Drop in workers compensation and disability claims by as much as 30 percent. Decrease in short-term sick leave by as much as 32 percent Savings of between $3 and $6 for every $1 invested
16 Need for Wellness & Disease Management Population Health Care Resources ($) 18% 80% Well 25% 33% 14% Episodic 5% Chronic 1% Catastrophic 24%
