All Other Experience Modification Rating Reduction Strategies Reduce Future EMR Rates

Let's say your renewal date is January 1 of this year.  Any new initiative you begin this year to reduce your claims (new safety programs, procedures, devices, etc) and your experience modifier will obviously not benefit your current Experience Mod.  And, at some point before your current policiy expires your next renewal experience modification factor will be calculated.

 

So, whatever  you do in the present that is effective at reducing claim frequency and claim severity will not help to lower your experience modifier until 2 policies from now (the only exception is having a reserve audit performed which could impact your next, renewal experience modification factor).   

 

EMR Rates are a 3 year assessment of claims activity beginning 5 policies ago and ending  2 policies ago.  If your current Experience Modification Rating Worksheet is effective 1/1/24, then the three insurance policies on your worksheet are 1/1/22-23, 1/1/21-22, and 1/1/20-21.    Last year's 1/1/23-24 policy won't be included for the first them until next year.  

Turnkey Audit Process To Maximize Your Results And Optimize Your Time

An exhaustive review of your Experience Modifier Worksheet can be a significant project unto itself depending on your claims activity and the size of your organization. 

 

We know of nobody with the time or expertise to expertly audit and experience modification factor calculation other than those of us who perform  Workers' Compensation Premium Audits for a living.  Decades of experience is why some of our business includes expert witness testimony.

 

We have a turnkey audit process that allows you to stay focused on your role while we save you money.​

Retroactive EMR Rate Errors And Overcharges

Language in your Workers Compensation Insurance Policy allows for  a reaudit of your Work Comp Audit up to 3 years from the expiration date.  So, when you  engage your Work Comp Premium Auditor her review will include your current and prior 3 policies; 4 year's worth of premiums!  When Experience Modification Rating errors are found that occur every year the compounding  can create substantial returns to a business.  Also, Illinois risks can go back much farther  than 3 years to recover overcharges when errors are identified.
