Your experience modification rate is a critical factor that affects your workers’ compensation insurance premiums. It reflects your company’s claim history relative to other businesses in your industry.
A mod rate of 1.0 is considered average; rates above this indicate a higher-than-average risk, leading to higher premiums, while rates below 1.0 can result in savings.
Understanding and proactively managing your experience mod is essential for your company’s financial health.

Case Study: Transforming Claims Management in Action
Consider the example of a precision machine component manufacturer facing escalating workers’ compensation claims that drove their experience modification rate to 1.63. The growing frequency and severity of claims severely impacted their premiums, cutting into profit margins and stunting growth.
