What Is a MOD Rate and Why It Impacts Your Workers’ Compensation Costs

Your Experience Modification Rate (MOD Rate) plays a major role in determining how much your business pays for workers’ compensation insurance premiums. Yet many companies never learn about their MOD rate until insurance renewal when premiums suddenly increase.

A MOD rate measures how your company’s workers’ compensation claims history compares to other businesses in your industry. When injuries, claims frequency, or operational risks rise, your MOD rate increases and so do your insurance costs.

The good news is that MOD rates are not permanent. Businesses that improve workplace safety programs, incident reporting, return-to-work processes, and operational risk management can reduce claims and lower their MOD rate over time typically in under 3 years.

Understanding your MOD rate is the first step toward controlling insurance expenses and improving workplace safety.
