Key Findings & Highlights:
NelsonHall has segmented the drivers behind workers' compensation BPS into three areas:
- The need for improved IT
- Shorter return to work times
- Reduced spend through claims handling.
The 'Need for improved IT' segment will see stable growth through 2019, supporting changing compliance and new state entry demands; however most growth will come from 'reduced spend through claims handling', as medical costs continue to rise and carriers seek to bring down their spend through improved triage and injury assessment processes.
Growth across all segments will be driven by the requirement of workers' compensation insurers to:
- Reduce cost of claims through reduced cycle times
- Address the need for analytics.
The majority of providers offer workers' compensation services without core technology; around 30% offer technology enabled services, delivered using proprietary software.
Approximately 75% of vendors use analytics in support of workers' compensation BPS; those that do not are looking to develop analytics offerings to eliminate medical bill fraud and overpayments.
Around 90% of vendors offer intake, triage and payment
processing services for workers' compensation; specialist offerings such as provision of PPOs and analytics are offered by 50% - 60% of vendors.
More than 60% of providers have acquired or partnered to expand their service portfolios, with a further 25% looking to do so in next three years.
Critical success factors include the ability to deliver cost savings of at least 40%, savings of 10% - 20%, and improvement to the medical bill review process.
