What WCER IS
• It compares an insured’s actual loss experience to that expected for an “average” risk of the same type.
• It is used to predict future loss experience.
• It provides an incentive for loss prevention.

What WCER Is NOT
An agent asks:
“How can NCCI justify a debit mod when the account has been profitable? How can you explain to an insured who has a 43% loss ratio during the three-year experience period that he has a 1.25 mod and a 25% surcharge in the assigned risk pool?”

Eligibility for the ERP
• Minimum Basic Manual Premium– TOTAL premium developed in last 1-2 years
of experience period = $9,000; OR– AVERAGE premium developed in last 3 years
of experience period = $4,500
• Eligibility and exceptions vary by state
• Caveat…monitor closely

Experience Period
• 3 years of experience ending one year prior to policy effective date. For example, the mod for a policy effective on 01/01/14 would be based on policy years 2010, 2011, and 2012, omitting 2013.
• Can use up to 3 ¾ years
• Can use only 1 year if insured for at least 2 consecutive years and meets the minimum premium requirement (e.g., $9,000)

Experience Used
• All current and past operations within the state, including those discontinued or self-insured (interstate rating uses experience from most non-monopolistic states)
• All business of the insured under common majority ownership (see “Combination of Entities” in the WCERP manual)

Ownership Changes
In general, the purchaser of a business “buys” the mod unless ALL of the following conditions are met:
1. Material change in ownership
2. Reclassification of governing class code
3. Change in process and hazard
Material change in ownership =
• Complete change, OR• Interest < 1/3 before, OR• Interest < 1/2 after

![Page 26: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
ELRs
• Expected Loss Rates (ELRs) are analogous to manual rate “pure loss costs” (no LAE)
• Used to calculate Expected Losses for each class during the upcoming policy period per $100 payroll
13-14
![Page 27: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Expected Losses andTotal Expected Losses
• Expected Losses represent “average” losses anticipated for each class during the upcoming policy period
• Calculated from ELR and payroll for each class (see Column 5 formula)
• Total Expected Losses are entered in Item D on the worksheet and used to determine “W” and “B” values 14
![Page 28: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
D-Ratios
• Discount Ratios (D-Ratios) represent an actuarial estimate of what percentage (%) of Expected Losses are smaller “primary” losses (i.e., under $5,000)
• Used to calculate Expected Primary Losses for each class
14
![Page 29: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Expected Primary Losses and Total Expected Primary Losses
• Expected Primary Losses represent the percentage (%) of Expected Losses anticipated to be less than $5,000
• Calculated from D-Ratios and Expected Losses (see Column 6 formula)
• Total Expected Primary Losses are entered in Item E and Column 11 to directly reflect loss frequency (i.e., the entire amount of Expected Primary Losses goes into the mod calculation) 14-15
![Page 30: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Expected Excess Losses
• Represent projected loss amounts in excess of “primary” losses
• Calculated by subtracting Item E from Item D
• Entered in Item C (see formula) and used in Columns 12 and 13 to reflect loss severity in the mod calculation
15
![Page 31: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

– If the claim exceeds the state “per accident” limitation(s), a pound sign (#) appears to the left of the amount in Column 9
– When totaling the claims for Item H, any such state “cap” is used, not the actual claim amount shown on the worksheet
16
![Page 34: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

otherwise only an asterisk (*) appears
• O/F Codes– “O” = Open claim– “F” = Final settlement (closed claim)
• Common errors– Reserve closed or lowered without stat card submission– Reserve amounts consistently excessive– Caveat…review 7-9 months in advance of renewal date!
16-17
![Page 35: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

“W” Value
• Reflects the credibility of the insured’s loss experience (based on Item D)
• Ratable Excess (Column 13) is directly proportional to “W” value
• Stabilizing Value (Column 12) is indirectly proportional to “W” value
20
![Page 41: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
“B” Value
• Minimizes the effect of individual large losses on the mod (based on Item D)
• Stabilizes fluctuations in the mod from policy period to the next
• Stabilizing Value is directly proportional to the “B” value
20
![Page 42: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Ratable Excess Losses
• Determines the impact of larger losses on the mod
• Incorporates a percentage of Excess Losses (Items C & F) into the mod calculation, depending on the credibility (“W” value) of the insured’s loss experience
21
![Page 44: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Stabilizing Value
• Minimizes the impact of large losses on the mod
• Minimizes mod fluctuations from one policy period to the next by adding the same value to both the numerator and denominator of the calculation
21
![Page 45: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Adjusted Actual & Expected Totals
• Form the numerator and denominator of the mod calculation
• Add the “Actual” numbers from Columns 11, 12, and 13 and enter in Item J under Column 14

21
![Page 46: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Mod Calculation
• Divide Item J by Item K and enter the result in Column 15, rounded to two decimal places
• A mod over 1.00 is called a “debit” mod and a mod under 1.00 is called a “credit” mod
• Mods of smaller insureds are subject to maximums (see workbook), so be sure debit mods are properly capped
21-22
![Page 47: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Misc. Considerations
• When Changes Can Be Made in Mods
• The Effect of Loss Frequency on the Mod
• Deductible Plans
• The Importance of Loss Control
• Interstate Experience Rating
![Page 51: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Mod Changes
• Permissible Reasons– Most clerical errors– Most subrogation recoveries– Claim determined to be non-compensable– Risk reclassification– Certain (unlikely) changes in ownership– Employer refuses to cooperate
• Application of Change– Mod Decreases…apply retroactively to policy inception or
Anniversary Rating Date– Mod Increases…apply retroactively in first 90 days, pro rata
thereafter
• Caveat…reasons and timing of changes may vary greatly from state to state 23-24
![Page 52: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Loss Frequency
• Kennamer Karpentry“Effect of Loss Control on the Mod”
• Compare to original Kennamer Karpentry worksheet
• Total amount of claims (Item H) are identical, but the amount in Year 3 came from 23 (rather than 2) claims
• Result is a dramatic increase in the mod due to an increase in “primary” losses (see Item I and Column 11) from $7,221 to $22,944 24
![Page 53: Workers Compensation Experience Rating Workshop](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061616/5681487c550346895db585a4/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Deductible Plans
• Kennamer Karpentry“Mod Impact of a $5,000 Net Reporting Deductible Plan”
• Vary from state to state…– May not have a deductible plan– May not apply to residual market– May vary from company to company– Only large deductibles may be available– Most states use a gross reporting basis
