Abstract: | A review of licensure history and a summary of state freedom-of-choice legislation for health insurance underscore the limited attention paid to workers' compensation by the psychological profession. The scope, types, trends, and recent growth of workers' compensation insurance and the extant law are summarized. Recent California law and premium volume (i.e., gross total premiums) illustrate the major practice potential. (9 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
