provider to establish their own price, competing with other providers for the same service. Through WC Bundled
Payments, providers are guaranteed full payment for the services performed. With payment uncertainties eliminated,
most providers set their fees the same for both workers’ compensation and group health – a true game changer for the
workers’ compensation market.
