What Code 9040 Covers
Code 9040 is a broad hospital classification that covers all employees — from clinical staff to maintenance, housekeeping, and dietary. The rate reflects the blended risk across all hospital functions.
Common Misclassification Issues
Hospitals that don't split out professional staff (8833), physicians (8832), and clerical staff (8810) end up paying the higher 9040 rate for everyone.
How This Affects Your Premium
At $3.14 per $100 of payroll, an employee earning $50,000/year classified under code 9040 adds approximately $1,570 to your annual premium. If that employee should actually be in a lower-rate code like 8810 (clerical at $0.16/$100), you'd save approximately $1,490 per employee per year.
Multiply that by every misclassified employee, and the overpayment adds up fast.
