NOTE

Once an employer secures coverage in Ohio and is issued a policy number, it is important to know that you should select a Managed Care Organization (MCO) to medically manage your workers’ compensation program. The Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) may automatically assign a MCO to an employer if one is not selected within 30 days. The employer pays no additional fee for our service - we are paid by the BWC. A new employer can simply enroll with MinuteMen OhioComp by completing the attached enrollment form.
