How modONE Slashes Insurance Claims and Lowers Future Premiums for Businesses

For small and mid-sized businesses, workers’ compensation insurance can be a major cost burden. The more claims you file, the higher your experience modification rate (MOD score)—and the more you pay in premiums for years to come.

But what if you could prevent costly claims, lower your MOD score, and significantly reduce future premiums—all by improving employee engagement with safety programs?

That’s exactly what modONE does.

The Data: modONE Engagement Leads to Lower Claims

We analyzed five businesses using modONE to measure the impact of employee engagement on claim frequency and insurance costs. The results prove a correlation between high modONE engagement and reduced claims.

Key Takeaways:

  • Businesses with 80%+ employee engagement had near-zero insurance claims.

  • Low-engagement companies had sky-high claims, leading to significant losses for their insurance carrier.

  • Fewer claims today mean a lower MOD score and reduced premiums for years to come.

The Relationship Between modONE Engagement and Claim Costs

This isn’t a coincidence—it’s a clear pattern. Companies that engage employees in modONE see dramatically lower claims, while low-engagement businesses struggle with costly injuries.

A Culture of Safety Requires Engaged Employees

This chart clearly illustrates the strong negative correlation between employee engagement with modONE and insurance claim frequency.

  • Higher engagement results in lower loss ratios, meaning fewer claims and lower costs.

  • Low engagement correlates with much higher loss ratios, proving that lack of safety participation leads to costly claims.

How modONE Saves You Money on Future Insurance Costs

Reducing current-year insurance claims isn’t just about avoiding immediate costs—it impacts your premiums for years. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Claims filed today increase your MOD score for three years

  • The Experience Modification Rate (MOD score) is a multiplier on your workers’ comp insurance premium.

  • More claims increase your MOD, making your business more expensive to insure.

  • Fewer claims lower your MOD, leading to cheaper premiums in future policy years.

2️⃣ Insurance carriers price policies based on your safety track record

  • Businesses with high claims pay more.

  • Companies with a proven history of low claims negotiate better rates.

3️⃣ Every dollar NOT spent on claims leads to direct premium savings

  • Insurance carriers track claim history closely—and adjust pricing accordingly.

  • A company preventing just one $50,000 claim could save $100,000+ in premiums over the next 3 years.
