Open Enrollment Coming in 2004

2004 is another open enrollment year for workers' compensation managed care in Ohio.

As in past years, open enrollment should be a "non-event" for our current customer base of more than 11,000 public- and private-sector employers. University Hospitals CompCare consistently ranks among the best-performing, most customer-focused managed care organizations (MCOs) in the state. In fact, we recently received our new two-year re-accreditation from URAC/American Accreditation HealthCare Commission with a perfect score of 100 percent. And, in the 2002 open enrollment period, we were ranked number one in the state in employer satisfaction, according to the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.

As an affiliate of University Hospitals Health System, we are one of the very few MCOs in the state with deep roots in Ohio and in occupational medicine. We assign a customer service representative, nurse case manager and provider relations representative to every employer, which ensures a quick, knowledgeable and personal response to client questions and needs. We consistently rank high in employer and injured worker satisfaction and are one of the most efficient MCOs in the state in terms of injury reporting and follow-up - all of which translate into high return-to-work success rates.

Employers who would like to switch to University Hospitals CompCare will have the opportunity during the May 2004 open enrollment period. As before, signing up with University Hospitals CompCare will be quick and easy.
