Introduction to the Experience Modification Rate – The “Mod Rate”
The Definition: The comparison of the basis of
workers’ compensation premium (usually payroll) and losses (claims) developed by an employer during a policy period to employers within the same industry.

What’s the “Mod” look like?
A 1.00 EMR indicates that your organization is on par with the average for other organizations within your industry.
Below a 1.00, your organization has a better claims history than other members of your industry.
A 1.01 and above, indicates that your mod rate is above the average for your industry.

Within industries(ex. Comparing tire manufacturers to
other tire manufacturers)
Within industry groups(ex. Construction – plumbing,
carpentry, etc.)

Why is the Mod Rate Important?
The mod rate is important to insurance companies because, generally, past experiences can be used to predict future losses.
When you have a good mod rate, you’ll realize a reduction in your insurance premiums.
Higher mod rates, mean you’ll pay more: this helps the industry collect appropriate premium to be able to pay claims.
Provides incentive to develop formal programs and keep workers safe.

How is data used? To determine the mod rate:
3 Years of payroll and loss data Insurance companies submit this data to
organizations or state bureaus for compilation
Measurements of both Severity and Frequency of claims are reviewed
An ERA (Experience Rating Adjustment) is applied. This reduces impact of medical only claims.
![Page 8: The Mod Rate - Finalized](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58eca9ca1a28ab98108b45f9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Frequency vs. Severity Frequency has a greater impact on
EMR Employer
# of Claims
Cost per claim
PrimaryLoss
Excess Loss
Employer A
1 $ 50,000 $15,000 $ 35,000
Employer B
5 $ 10,000 $50,000 $ - 0 -
The first $15,000 of a claim is referred to as a “primary loss” and has greater impact on the mod rate. Over $15,000 is “excess loss”.
Severity >
Frequency >

Frequency vs. Severity – the rationale Any company can experience one
severe loss – or catastrophic claim. This is generally an unusual event. Excess loss values are high – but weighted less in EMR calculation.
Frequency is considered a better indicator of the future. A larger number of small claims typically means that a future claim is more likely.

What’s the Impact of Light Duty on our Mod? Returning an injured employee to work
immediately, and working with restrictions has benefits.
For Medical Only claims – only 30% of the primary claims loss is included in the experience rating calculation.
In other words, we get a 70% discount against our mod rate for a medical only claim.

Customers and Our EMR An EMR is like a credit history – it follows
a business. Future insurance companies require at
least 3 years of history Large customers and government
entities seeking sub-contractors who practice a safe working environment ask for EMR reports. Ex. DuPont won’t accept any sub-
contractor unless EMR is .99 and below.

Industry Average is Always a 1.00 The average EMR for our industry will
always be 1.00. As the industry ages, and safer work
practices are developed, the statistics behind that 1.00 change.
Result: companies can’t do “business as usual” and expect to stay competitive as their competitors improve and lower that industry average.

Conclusion We need to look at ways to reduce the EMR,
including: Safety initiatives – reducing severity & frequency
Training – Monthly Talks, certification Process improvement Behavior – rewards and accountability Inspections – Worksite, Job Site, VIR’s
Working with our occupational health clinics to keep injuries as non-recordable (first aid only visits)
Getting our employees back to work – offering light duty work
