Whom do I talk to about group rating?

If you are unfamiliar with the group rating concept or have recently been rejected by a group...
contact an employer services specialist (ESS). An ESS can help you develop risk management strategies to help you manage workers’ compensation costs. Working with your ESS, you will learn methods of controlling workers’ compensation costs and improving claims management and safety processes. All of this will improve your chances to participate in group rating and realize lower rates.

To contact a BWC representative about risk management strategies that could make you eligible for group rating in the future, please contact the local BWC customer service office and ask for employer services (please enter your ZIP code in the Service Office Locator to find the local office in your area) or call 1-800-OHIOBWC, and follow the options.
