MCO Open Enrollment deadline approaching!
Employers, the period to switch your managed care organization (MCO) to manage
the medical portion of your workers’ compensation claims is almost over. BWC’s
2023 MCO open enrollment ends at 5:30 p.m. Friday, May 26.
To help you select an MCO that meets the needs of your business and workers, updated
versions of BWC’s MCO Selection Guide and MCO Report Card are available at
bwc.ohio.gov. The guide walks you through the selection process, while the report
card provides up-to-date MCO performance information. If you’re satisfied with your MCO,
you don’t need to do anything.

FREE BOOKS FOR KIDS UNDER 5!
Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Ohio mails kids one free book each month until their fifth birthday. Any child in Ohio between birth and age five years old can enroll in the program for free at: OhioImaginationLibrary.org.
Early literacy skills are critical to a child’s success. Caregivers cannot delay in exposing kids to reading because a child’s brain is already 80% developed by age three. Please take advantage of this free resource that will help to prepare your little one to take on kindergarten—and life!

The True-up online report will be available on July 1, 2023. At the end of the policy year, we must ensure the estimated premium we set for you was correct. To do this, you must file a True-up report that reflects the actual payroll for that policy year. You must complete the report online using the Payroll True-up report service offering by August 15, 2023.
If your True-up payroll exceeds the estimated payroll, you'll owe additional premium. If your True-up payroll is less than your estimated payroll, you'll receive a premium credit. An employer must submit a payroll True-up report even if it has zero payroll.
