NCCI Releases Multi-Bureau Collaborative Report on COVID-19 Claims Characteristics and Trends

Posted Date: December 15, 2021

​​​​​​(Boca Raton, FL, December 15​, 2021)—The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI), in collaboration with a number of other workers compensation rating bureaus, has released a comprehensive analysis on COVID-19 data.

To better understand the pandemic’s impact on the workers compensation (WC) industry, a cross-bureau collaborative effort was made to analyze COVID-19 claims characteristics, including representation from the following WC bureaus: California, Delaware, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI). The analysis does not include experience from self-insured employers or denial and expense-only claims.

Claim and loss activity during 2020 as of year-end 2020 varies across jurisdictions, indicative of how the pandemic impacted individual states differently and at varying times. The early evaluation of the emergence of COVID-19 claims includes many uncertainties.

Key findings in the study include:

  • For the 45 states included in this analysis, COVID-19 claims represent 11.0% of total claims counts and 3.5% of incurred losses.
  • Indemnity-only claims emerged as a significant share of reported COVID-19 claims.
  • In aggregate, COVID-19 claims that remained open have relatively higher case reserves due to the uncertainty of COVID-19 infections, later than average accident dates, and timing of the various waves of the pandemic.
  • COVID-19 indemnity claims closed more quickly than non-COVID-19 indemnity claims, partly driven by the large share of indemnity-only claims.
  • Despite the higher closure rate, the ratio of paid to paid + case losses on COVID-19 claims is lower when compared with that for non-COVID-19 claims.
