The main strength of this study is the selection of our cohort from a single, universal no-fault injury compensation and rehabilitation provider, allowing for the comparison non-work-related injury group to be selected from the same injury rehabilitation and compensation provider.
The amount of the compensation provided to the clinic per participating provider was approximately the same regardless of whether the clinic was randomized to no intervention, one intervention, or multiple interventions ($1200 per full-time provider).
The result should be universal coverage, control of costs, fair compensation to providers and competition between private insurers and the government.
Such metrics could assist Accountable Care Organizations in evaluating risk adjusted compensation for providers.

CNN will retain non-exclusive ownership of the submitted content and does not appear to plan compensation for content providers.
Since a higher ramping rate improves the system's performance (provided that the delay is sufficiently small), a performance payment should be followed, where these resources would be remunerated with higher prices, to ensure a fair compensation to the providers.
It also goes to sustain an ever increasing monitory compensation for various providers such as medical doctors, whose salaries have risen well above the average salaries of most professionals in the last few decades.
Therefore, once implemented, performance-related payment should ideally remain a permanent component of providers' compensation.
The issue of disabling LBP attributable to work-related low back injury is very relevant to workers, employers, workers' compensation insurers, healthcare providers, and society in general.
