Compensation (BWC) announced that it
would award
Ohio employers $4 million in grants

MCO Satisfaction
Rating
Each year, BWC conducts a survey of
employers throughout the state to
determine their level of satisfaction
with their MCOs. This year, MCOs have
exceeded expectation receiving the
highest overall employer satisfaction
rate ever. On a scale of 1-5, with 5
being the highest, the overall average
for all MCOs was 4.28.
I am proud to announce that
1-888-OHIOCOMP had an overall employer
satisfaction score of 4.34. At
1-888-OHIOCOMP, we are very proud of the
service we provide to Ohio’s employers
and their injured workers. Our goal is
to provide the highest level of service

day. If you have any concerns about the
level of support you receive from

you. I can be reached locally at (216)
