Workers’ compensation issues and subjects regularly go beyond individual state jurisdictions. WCI has recognized the importance to have sessions with a national or multi-jurisdictional focus. The National Workers’ Compensation Review, Lessons Learned, and Multi-State Workers’ Compensation Laws Breakouts allow our attendees to broaden their worker’s compensation horizons. Below are some of the sessions and topics that will be covered during these breakouts.
National Workers’ Compensation Review Breakout Sessions:
- Evidence-based Treatment Guidelines, Formularies, and Fee Schedules

“At the intersection of claims, medicine, law and industry, the National Workers’ Compensation Review speakers are the cream of the crop, often in the upper-most positions within state and national comp programs. Our sessions are not a series of lectures, but practical courses of information and strategies that attendees can leverage when they return to their offices on Monday morning regardless of the jurisdiction where they are conducting business.” – George Kagan, Breakout Organizer
