Speak to an Expert Get a Quote Costly Workers’ Compensation claims filed in 2015-16 Motor vehicle crashes $73,000 per claim Slip and falls $46,000 per claim Based on a study by National Safety Council BREAKING THINGS DOWN The Costs of Workers’ Compensation Workers’ compensation assures that injured workers get the medical care and compensation they need after getting hurt on the job. Ohio law requires employers to have workers’ compensation insurance for their entire workforce, quickly adding up to become a significant expense. Using a number of factors, the Ohio BWC determines an employer’s rate based on the work being done and the level of injury risk associated with it. Partnering with a Third Party Administrator (TPA) like Sheakley, gives you access to a wide variety of programs to minimize these costs. Through Sheakley, you get access to a team of people with decades of combined experience between them – all of whom are dedicated to conducting a holistic review of the programs available to you so that you can make the best decision possible at all times and save a significant amount of money in the process.

This allows state-funded employers with minimal claim activity to pool together, ensuring they get access to lower premium costs by securing a larger discount than what they would receive individually. Combining claim history and rate calculations allows employers to take advantage of premium savings typically reserved for large organizations. Private employers can save up to a maximum of 53% (59% for Public Employers) of their state-funded premiums by pursuing opportunities like these – and that is exactly what we want to help you do. Group Retro Program Administration A Group Retro program is a performance-based incentive program created for employers to recover a large amount of their premium across three evaluation periods after the policy year ends. Employers will continue to pay their own individual premium with the opportunity to receive refund payments based on the performance of the group. 12, 24, & 36 months after the policy year, the BWC reviews the group’s claim history to determine the total group’s retrospective premium and if the retrospective premium is lower than the standard premium, a refund will be distributed to participants. This program provides many incentives to minimizing claim activity to help control and reduce loses – and we are here to help you maximize your savings potential.

The limited letter of authority provides access to the following types of information relating to our account: 1. Risk Files; 2. Claim Files; 3. Merit-related or non-merit related experiences; 4.

By signing the AC-3, the employer grants permission to the BWC to release information to the employer’s authorized representative(s). The form allows a TPA to view an employer’s information regarding payroll, claims and experience modification.

Group sponsors must notify all current group members if they will not accept them for the next group-rating year. The deadline for this notification is prior to the last business day in October for private employers and prior to the last business day in April for public employers. All potential group-rating prospects must have: Active BWC coverage status as of the application deadline; Active coverage from the application deadline through the group rating year; No outstanding balances; Operations similar in nature to the other members of their group. Any changes to a group member’s policy will affect the group policy. Changes can result in either debits or credits to each of the members.
