Perspective: An Often-Overlooked ROI Even though motor vehicle accident (MVA) and workers’ compensation claims comprise only a small percentage of an organization’s total claims, they have a higher reimbursement rate than other claim types and can be worth millions of dollars in annual revenue for many hospitals.

Given the favorable reimbursement rates, it makes sense for hospitals to devote resources where the return on investment is likely to be high.
