From April 28 to May 23 the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation is offering an Open Enrollment opportunity for employers to select your managed care organization, or MCO. The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation partners with Sedgwick Managed Care Ohio as an essential component of our member benefits for workers’ compensation. We urge you to enroll with Sedgwick MCO and take advantage of this no-cost resource to help you and your employees navigate the workers’ compensation system.
Your MCO plays a major role in your ability to control premium costs and qualify for savings opportunities. Sedgwick MCO touches every claim for their clients to organize treatment, coordinate return-to-work options and reduce medical costs. Sedgwick MCO’s involvement in your workers’ compensation program enhances our ability to provide outstanding savings to our members.
The data is clear
- Sedgwick MCO averages 14% fewer lost days per claim than claims managed by other MCOs.1 Fewer lost workdays translates to less costly claims and lower premium rates.
- Sedgwick MCO reduced medical costs for their clients by an additional 19% below BWC fee schedule in 2024.2 All MCOs reduce medical bills to the BWC standard fee schedule, but this additional Sedgwick reduction enhances premium savings and discount options.
Enrollment is simple and there is no cost. Just complete the Sedgwick MCO Selection Form and return it by fax or email to [email protected]. If you are already enrolled with Sedgwick as your MCO, you do not need to take action to retain this valuable resource.
For questions or to discuss your workers’ compensation program in more detail, reach out directly to Kathy Redmond at 614-376-5409, or by email at [email protected].

The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
