Currently, Ohio employers pay their workers’ compensation
premiums to the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) retrospectively for the
previous six month period. Effective
July 1, 2015, the BWC is changing its billing structure to a prospective
payment process to modernize operations. This change aligns the BWC with
standard insurance industry practices and enables them to collect premiums
before extending coverage. The
transition to a prospective billing system will provide more flexibility for
employers, lower overall systems costs along with providing other benefits.
