The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (Ohio BWC), ODG by MCG, and IntegerHealth, have been named to PropertyCasualty360’s Insurance Luminaries Class of 2024 in the category of Claims Innovation.

Industry leaders in workers' compensation recognized in the Claims Innovation category for Ohio BWC's successful Enhanced Care Program (ECP)

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (Ohio BWC), ODG by MCG, and IntegerHealth, have been named to PropertyCasualty360's Insurance Luminaries Class of 2024 in the category of Claims Innovation. This recognition annually celebrates novel improvements in the property and casualty insurance industries. The awards program spotlights the top professionals, teams, organizations, programs, practices, and products within the sector that strive to modernize and humanize the business.

The three organizations were honored for their successful collaboration in the Ohio BWC's Enhanced Care Program (ECP). The initial ECP pilot was developed to achieve better overall care coordination for workers with knee injuries and has since expanded. The Ohio BWC team utilized the nationally recognized ODG by MCG Return-to-Work/Treatment Guidelines and benchmarks in the program. The Ohio BWC engaged IntegerHealth to perform quantitative analytics on ECP versus non-ECP injuries. The results were published in a comprehensive case study highlighting its significant success. The ECP saw the following outcomes:

"BWC is honored to be named a 2024 Insurance Luminary, along with leaders in the insurance industry, for our model Enhanced Care Program that offers comprehensive care for Ohio's injured workers," - John Logue, Ohio BWC Administrator/CEO.

Post this
  • Injured workers enrolled in the ECP saw a 30% faster return to work rate (229 days vs. 329 days)
  • The State of Ohio saved an estimated $2.1 million
  • Injured workers enrolled in the ECP saw a healthcare provider five days sooner than their non-program cohorts (56% faster)
  • 42% reduction in the time to file a claim (7 days vs. 12 days)

"BWC is honored to be named a 2024 Insurance Luminary, along with leaders in the insurance industry, for our model Enhanced Care Program that offers comprehensive care for Ohio's injured workers," said BWC Administrator/CEO John Logue.

"IntegerHealth used its unique outcome-based analytics to evaluate the ECP, instead of traditional qualitative metrics like whether a provider followed preferred practices ‒ the process, not the outcome ‒ or whether the patient liked their doctor. The results were terrific. The ECP saved money while getting injured employees back to work faster," said Scott Roloff, President at IntegerHealth.

"We are humbled to join our valued partners, the Ohio BWC and IntegerHealth, with this prestigious recognition," said Jon Shreve, President of MCG Health, ODG by MCG's parent company. "The Ohio BWC program is evidence of their innovative approach to treating workplace injuries, and it aligns with MCG's vision of everyone getting the right care."

The 2024 Insurance Luminary honorees were selected by a panel of industry experts based on how well they stated and achieved goals with regards to the nomination category; how impactful their work has been; how dedicated the nominees have been to furthering modernization and humanization in the P&C insurance business; and how committed and dedicated the nominees have been to high ethical standards, service, and excellence.

For those who wish to learn more about the Ohio BWC's Enhanced Care Program, the three organizations will host a webinar on November 7, 2024, with registration available at: https://info.mcg.com/odg-webinar-wc-ohio-enhanced-care-program.html.
