Introducing NCCI’s Medical Inflation Insights report and Workers Compensation Weighted Medical Price Index (WCWMI).

The Medical Inflation Insights report provides a quarterly overview of the latest insights and analysis into what is driving changes in prices and how these changes may or may not impact workers compensation.

The WCWMI is a composition of medical cost components from the Producer Price Index and the Consumer Price Index, reweighted using our Medical Call data to better match the mix of spend in workers compensation.

The new index was created by NCCI’s Economics Team and provides the same comprehensive view of medical care as the Personal Health Care (PHC) index but has two advantages:

  • It is produced timelier (monthly)
  • It is more reflective of workers compensation medical costs

Watching the WCWMI monthly provides us with insights into how the big picture in medical prices for workers compensation are trending as well as raise flags for when to dive into the details and see what is happening in each of the subcategories.
