Sedgwick Managed Care Ohio Open Enrollment through May 23

Workers’ compensation premiums are a significant overhead expense for employers. Navigating the claim process can also be complicated and frustrating for both the employer and an injured employee. But both are controllable, and your Managed Care Organization (MCO) is a key partner in achieving success with your workers’ compensation program.

From April 28^th to May 23^rd the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation is offering an Open Enrollment opportunity for employers to select your managed care organization, or MCO. We partner with Sedgwick Managed Care Ohio as an essential component of our member benefits for workers’ compensation.  We urge you to enroll with Sedgwick MCO and take advantage of this no-cost resource to help you and your employees navigate the worker’ compensation system.

Your MCO plays a major role in your ability to control premium costs and qualify for savings opportunities.  Sedgwick MCO touches every claim for their clients to organize treatment, coordinate return-to-work options, and reduce medical costs.  Sedgwick MCO’s involvement in your workers’ compensation program enhances our ability to provide outstanding savings to our members. 

Ohio Agri Business Association endorses Sedgwick Managed Care Ohio for our members, and here are the two most important reasons why we encourage members to select Sedgwick MCO:

The data is clear

• Sedgwick MCO averages 14% fewer lost days per claim than claims managed by other MCOs.¹ Fewer lost workdays translates to less costly claims and lower premium rates. 
• Sedgwick MCO reduced medical costs for their clients by an additional 19% below BWC fee schedule in 2024.² All MCOs reduce medical bills to the BWC standard fee schedule, but this additional Sedgwick reduction enhances premium savings and discount options.

Enrollment is simple and there is no cost.  Just complete the Sedgwick MCO Selection Form and return it by fax or email to sales@sedgwickmco.com.  If you are already enrolled with Sedgwick as your MCO, you do not need to take action to retain this valuable resource.  For questions or to discuss your workers’ compensation program in more detail, reach out directly to David Deyo at 614-376-5401, or by email at david.deyo@sedgwick.com .
