Private employer true-up deadline is this week!

Private employers, have you completed your true-up? You must complete the report online using the payroll true-up report service offering by Aug. 15, 2024. 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. We have a step-by-step video available for you to walk you through the process. 

If you need assistance with your OHID account, we have a recorded webinar available to assist you.

2024 Medical & Health Symposium

This year’s focus is technology in medicine. We’ll explore how technology in medicine is shaping the future for injured workers and medical professionals. Sessions include topics highlighting generative AI in health care, holograms in medicine, robotic-assisted spine surgery, compassion in health care, and workers’ compensation recovery.
