BWC Third-Party Administrator

1. Is this for an AC-3 solicitation, or an MCO solicitation?: This is not a solicitation. The Ohio Municipal League has selected CareWorksComp as the Program administrator.

2. I am unhappy with the how the notification was done for the change to CareWorksComp. Why wasn't the notification handled differently?: We apologize for any confusion you may be experiencing due to the messaging. OML and CareWorksComp are trying to assist with an organized transition. We are unfortunately unable to control the communications being sent from CompManagement. They are understandably unhappy about the change and their messaging will certainly reflect their displeasure.

3. Do I pay CareWorksComp?: No, not at this time. CareWorksComp has agreed to service OML members at no cost for the January 1, 2019 rate year. You will not be billed by CareWorksComp until early 2019 for the 2020 rate year.

4. What if I paid CompManagement already?: CareWorksComp will service your account at no cost. You will not be double charged. CareWorksComp considers this an investment in our relationship.

5. CompManagement is saying OML does not have the wherewithal to file Group Rating or Group Retrospective Rating Programs because they have lost members?: This is false. The Ohio Municipal League has had and continues to have the ability to have both Group Rating and Group Retrospective Rating Programs. OML has simply chosen to switch administrators (TPAs) due to the lack of service OML members were receiving from CompManagement meaning the existing group plans are moving from CompManagement to CareWorksComp effective 4/25/18.

6. CompManagement has told me they will file my organization in another Association (Ohio Assn of Public Treasurers, etc). Can they do that because I would like to be with them?: The BWC has switched the representation of the OML Group to CareWorksComp. At this point, CareWorksComp is the administrator for all OML Group and Group Retro plans. While CompManagement may try to coerce you into staying with them, the entire group has been moved to CareWorksComp. However, please know that CompManagement has no group for you to participate in currently.

7. CompManagement tells me that if I do not sign an AC-2, hearings will be missed?: CareWorksComp currently has access to any and all information on your claims. Hearing Dockets are generally set 3 weeks in advance. CareWorksComp is diligently identifying upcoming hearings. However, if you are aware of a Hearing, please let us know right away.
