Workers’ comp insurance cost for physician offices in Nevada

Q: What does workers' comp cost physician offices in Nevada?

Modeled from the 2024 filed manual rate of $0.18 per $100 of payroll: a <5-employee physician practice lands around $290–$1.2k per year before experience mods and schedule credits.

Q: What drives the rate up or down?

Three levers: payroll (the exposure base), claims history (the experience modifier), and schedule credits/debits the insurer applies. Physician-office work is NCCI class 8832 (Physician & Clerical) — the '& Clerical' is part of the class design, so receptionists and billing staff are rated in the same class as the clinical team rather than split out separately.
