CMS to Rely of New Life Tables
for Workers Compensation
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
has recently published its 2006
United States Life Tables. Effective
July 19, 2010, the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
will begin referencing the CDC's
Table 1: Life table for the total
population: United States, 2006, for
WCMSA life expectancy calculations.
This means that for any newly
submitted WCMSA proposal received
by CMS' Coordination of Benefits
Contractor (COBC), or where any
WCMSA case is reopened on or after
July 19, 2010, CMS will apply the CDC's
2006 Table 1 for life expectancy
calculations.
In 2006, the overall expectation
of life at birth was 77.7 years,
representing an increase of 0.3
years from life expectancy in 2005.
From 2005 to 2006, life expectancy
at birth increased for all groups
considered. It increased for males
(from 74.9 to 75.1) and females
(from 79.9 to 80.2), the white
(from 77.9 to 78.2) and black
populations (from 72.8 to 73.2),
black males (from 69.3 to 69.7) and
females (from 76.1 to 76.5), and
white males (from 75.4 to 75.7) and
females (from 80.4 to 80.6).
