Workers’ Compensation: Direct Cost
• A greater than 8-fold difference in w.c. costs between
recommended weight and obese workers. Duke University
• A 7-fold difference in w.c. costs between high and low risk
workers. University of Michigan
•
A 23% decline over 2 years in w.c. claims costs and 18% decline in
w.c. claims volume among companies engaging in HRM. Wellsource
Health Solutions
• Health risks have a compounding impact on w.c. costs
• Obese claims are 2.8 times more expensive than non-obese claims at
the 12-month maturity. The cost difference climbs to a factor of 4.5 at
the three year maturity and to 5.3 at the five year maturity.

Indemnity Claims Costs
Productivity
• Employers, on average, have $3 of health-related
productivity costs for every $1 of medical or pharmacy
claims costs. (Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine July
2007)
• Lost productivity represents 7.9% of total corporate
earnings and 5.3% of human capital costs. (Health and Human
Capital Foundation)
• The most costly conditions related to productivity are often
not the same as the most costly conditions related to
medical treatment costs. Taking an integrated approach to
health and productivity results in more cost-effective
interventions. (Journal of Occupational & Environmental Medicine
July 2007)

Impact of Health Insurance
• The vast majority of Pinnacol policyholders have fewer than
25 employees
• We assume the rate of uninsured status, from a health care
perspective, mirrors the state as a whole
• Approximately 50% of our participants are likely to have no
health insurance
• Placing HRM in a worksite environment rather than a health
insurance environment is a key differentiator
We Believe
In the future, Health Risk Management will be as fundamental to
managing risk as safety is now.
Pinnacol HRM Components

•
•
•
3-5 year timeframe

3,000 participating policyholders representative of Colorado’s
workforce (Small and medium sizes of employers are a critical
component)
• 30,000 enrolled members
Pinnacol’s HRM Program

HRM Study Strategy
• Use outside independent evaluators to conduct a peer review
quality assessment of the long term impact of HRM on:
•
•
•
•
Health risk profile of our policyholders and their employees (based on trended
HRA results)
Monetized changes in productivity (based on trended results of HPQ-Select)
Changes in Workers’ Compensation (based on participant pool versus Pinnacol
control group)
Changes measured over 3 – 5 years
• Work with local universities and researchers to identify other
relevant issues and make data available for non-Pinnacol
initiatives
