Workers' Compensation insurers writing deductible insurance policies in Colorado are required to deduct the full amount of the policy deductible from any claim reported, up to the "split point" filed by a rating organization and approved by the Commissioner of Insurance for each claim. This shall be applicable for large and small deductible programs, without regard to the actual receipt of the deductible when initially reporting a loss to any statistical agent for the calculation of the employers experience modification factor. Elimination of the actual receipt requirement will ensure that more employers receive accurate experience modification factors.
However, insurers shall also report the total or full amount of the loss (without regard to the split point exclusion above). This is to ensure that the full amount of the loss is reported properly for purposes other than calculating the experience modification factor.
