At the Chamber, our job is to create an environment that supports your business and provides resources that enable you to operate your business more effectively.
We know that access to affordable health insurance is important to you. While changes due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) have expanded access to coverage, the ACA has also increased costs and limited choices - especially for the region's smallest businesses.
Below you will find options and contacts to determine which best meets your companies needs.

Workers Compensation Group Pooling
The group-rating program is a partnership that includes you and your employees, your sponsoring organization, your third-party administrator (TPA) and the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation. Each has specific roles and responsibilities, all designed to assist in preventing workplace accidents.
For over 50 years, Sedgwick has been helping employers navigate Ohio’s workers’ compensation system, providing services to help them control claim-related costs and reduce premiums. Our team includes the experienced colleagues from CompManagement and CareWorks Comp. The two companies merged and are now Sedgwick. Together, we serve nearly 65,000 Ohio employers including organizations of all sizes operating in various industries across the state. Group rating programs administered by Sedgwick have produced over $4 billion in savings since group rating was introduced in 1991, and their group retrospective programs have returned over $630 million in premium refunds since the program began in 2009.
