Medical costs for work comp accidents have moderated in the last 10 years and especially over the last 5 years. Why has this happened? The big factors that have led to this trend are:
- Government (medicaid) mandated fee schedules for physicians services.
- Government mandated pharmaceutical prices.
- Employers today mostly use in network physicians

We are asked this question often by our 100+ staffing clients when they are trying hard to curb abuse and fraud. Here is what the EEOC says:
“An employer may ask questions about an applicant’s prior workers’ compensation claims or occupational injuries after it has made a conditional offer of employment, but before employment has begun, as long as it asks the same questions of all entering employees in the same job category.”– 2017
We suggest that you proceed carefully when incorporating this type of applicant question into your interviewing process. This information may help you keep your work comp costs low, and avoid work comp fraud.

Some staffing companies call Work Comp Staffing Solutions and ask if they can use a PEO only for work comp coverage – and not for payroll administration too. The answer is YES!.
This question arises when the staffing company needs to keep payroll in-house, or with an existing 3rd party payroll processor. Work Comp Staffing Solutions has a few PEO providers that allow a staffing company to continue to process their own payroll, and just use the PEO for “comp coverage.” Two other benefits with this arrangement is that the PEO has much smaller premium deposit requirements than State Funds and private carriers, along with very competitive comp rates.
