A few factors can be addressed to reduce the workers' compensation premium. The most important is the primary threshold. Each individual employer has their own primary threshold that is determined by the class of business they operate and the amount of field payroll they accrue over a three year period. The primary threshold is the point at which any claim maximizes its negative impact on the MOD. You must be sensitive to this number because any open claim with paid amounts under the threshold, provides an opportunity to save points to the MOD. Once a claim exceeds paid amounts over your threshold, it no longer can negatively impact your MOD. However, you would still want to monitor and manage these claims to ensure your injured employee is being provided attentive care and to maintain knowledge of your loss experience. Knowing your primary threshold is the most important piece of information when managing your XMOD. Fortunately, Rancho Mesa can help you manage your experience MOD by tracking your primary threshold and maintaining the other critical elements that go into establishing a sustainable low experience MOD.
