Workers Compensation Group Rating Program

CareWorks Consultants Inc. (CCI) is proud to be the administrator of the Ohio Association of Metal Finishers Workers' Compensation group rating program. The program could save your company significant money on your worker's compensation premiums. In one year alone, five members are projected to save $34,000 on their workers' comp premiums, with one member alone saving $12,000! These savings are due to program stability and comprehensive quality services.

CCI analyzes each employer's unique claim and premium history to find the highest level of savings - from the BWC maximum to a lesser percentage for companies with claims. For more information, or for a no-cost, no-obligation quote of your potential premium savings, contact our representative Robert Nicoll, at 800-837-3200 x 8595 or direct at 330.452.1050 ext. 14 , or email him at robert.nicoll@ccitpa.com or visit the website:

Fact: Over 75,000 Ohio employers are in a workers' compensation group. Most employers not in groups are paying much more than those in groups. CCI offers OAMF members multiple savings levels from the BWC maximum to a lesser percentage, for companies with claims. The multiple levels of savings can possibly prevent you from losing your group rating discount once a claim occurs, simply dropping you down to a lower tier.

About CCI: As the largest workers' compensation third party administrator in Ohio, CareWorks Consultants, Inc. (CCI) provides best-in-class service to more than 26, 000 customers. CCI has been serving Ohio employers since 1950.

Even if your company is enrolled in another workers' compensation group rating program, you should compare your current program to the OAMF group rating program through CCI.
