How do I add a WC modifier?

A workers compensation modifier records the expected loss amount for each workers class code. For example, if an organization has a claim that equals the expected loss ratio then the modifier would be 1.00. If the organization's claims are less than the expected loss ratio then the organization may receive a credit modifier. On the other hand, if the organization's claims are greater than the expected loss ratio then the organization may receive a debit modifier.
