Stakeholders participating in three discussions as part of the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards' (IAIABC) "National Conversations on the Future of Workers Compensation", said workers' comp should remain the exclusive remedy when employees are injured on the job and emphasized the federal government shouldn't interfere with state workers' comp systems. According to Todd Brown, practice leader for compliance and regulatory affairs at Medata, workers' comp claims have evolved from a judicial dispute process to a medical dispute process. The IAIABC is taking action in several areas by monitoring opioid use, focusing on return to work strategies and working with states on controlling medical services pricing.
