What is an E-MOD?

E-MOD is short for Experience Modification or Experience Modifier, and it is like a FICO score for Workers’ Comp Insurance.

E-MOD is a number that directly affects the premium you pay—if you have more claims than your industry average, your E-MOD goes up and you pay more. If you have fewer claims, it goes down and you save money.

The lower the E-MOD, the better.

How E-MOD Affects Your Premium

Your E-MOD directly adjusts your premium. After your base premium is calculated, it is multiplied by your E-MOD value.

When your E-MOD > 1 you pay a surcharge

When your E-MOD < 1 you receive a credit

For a hypothetical business with a $10,000 Gross Premium, this graph shows how the E-MOD would adjust the Premium.

Consider two business with a $10,000 Gross Premium:

One has an E-MOD of 1.75 and would pay a surcharge of 75% and the adjusted premium would be $17,500

The other business has an E-MOD of 0.5 and would receive a credit of 50%. The adjusted premium would be $5,000.

What Determines Your E-MOD?

Your E-MOD is based on your company’s claims history from the last three years. A single claim can affect your E-MOD for that entire period. The more claims you have, the higher your E-MOD will be.

While you can’t directly change your E-MOD, you can influence it by taking a proactive approach. The key is to manage and prevent claims.

  • Appropriately document and advocate for each claim with the carrier
  • Design your policy to protect against small claims
  • Implement safety procedures to prevent injuries before they happen
  • Ensure injured employees receive prompt medical care to reduce claim severity

Keep in mind that claims affect your E-MOD for three years so it is important to implement a strategy to protect your E-MOD immediately.
