RFP26-0265_Exhibit_2_-_10_Years_Historical_Claims_Data.pdf

This document is an exhibit containing ten-year historical claims data for the City of Orlando's Third Party Administration of Firefighters' Worker Compensation Claims RFP26-0265. The exhibit presents annual claim statistics from fiscal year 2015/16 through 2024/25, categorizing claims into four types: First Aid, Indemnity, Medical Only, and Total claims. The data shows significant variation across years, with the highest claim volume occurring in fiscal year 2015/16 (545 total claims), primarily driven by a spike in First Aid claims resulting from asbestos exposure at a city fire department training facility. Over the ten-year period, the jurisdiction processed a cumulative total of 2,312 claims, comprising 1,162 First Aid claims, 554 Indemnity claims, and 596 Medical Only claims. Recent years have shown more moderate claim volumes, ranging from 113 to 173 total claims annually between 2018/19 and 2024/25.

The historical data indicates a relatively stable claims environment in recent years, with less than 13.7% of claims resulting in litigation over the past five years. Currently, only three open claims (0.02% of total claims) involve Permanently Totally Disabled employees, suggesting manageable long-term disability exposure. This claims profile provides prospective proposers with essential baseline information for estimating administrative costs, staffing requirements, and potential litigation expenses associated with managing the city's firefighter worker compensation program.
