MCO Open Enrollment, May 2 - May 27
OADA recommends CareWorks as the MCO of choice!
The Open-Enrollment period to change your MCO is upon us. OADA highly recommends you enroll with CareWorks during the 2016 MCO Open Enrollment period, being held May 2 through May 27, 2016. For Ohio State Fund employers, choosing the right Managed Care Organization (MCO) is an important decision in helping manage your workers' compensation claims and costs.
Now is the time to partner with an MCO clearly focused on a critical area of workers' compensation - return to work. Helping injured employees recover from injury and successfully return to work can help lower medical and claim costs, limit lost time, help control your BWC premium and improve your employees' health and productivity.
- CareWorks helped more injured Ohio workers with an allowed claim in 2015 return to work in 2015 than any other MCO.1
- CareWorks had the highest return to work percentage for allowed lost time claims filed in 2015 with an actual full duty return to work in 2015 of the five largest MCOs based on premium.2
Claims become lost time when an injured worker is off work more than seven days. Just one lost time claim can cost significant dollars. Your business can't afford even one lost time claim. Partner with an MCO with proven experience in promoting healthy and timely return to work outcomes.
Only every two years do Ohio employers have an opportunity to change their MCO. There are no direct costs for MCO services as their fees are included in your BWC premium. If your company is already enrolled with CareWorks, you do not need to do anything during the 2016 MCO Open Enrollment, you will be automatically re-enrolled with CareWorks.
The 2016 MCO Open Enrollment period is only May 2 through May 27! To enroll with CareWorks, complete the 2016 MCO Open Enrollment form and fax it to 1-888-358-5319. Please fill out a separate enrollment form for each unique BWC policy.
