Nine managed care organizations are certified by Ohio BWC right now. You probably bill three of them. Here is the whole list with phone numbers, the provider fax numbers we can actually verify, where each one sits, and how many claims it manages — plus five payer blocks exactly as they print on a CMS-1500.
Ohio is one of four monopolistic states. Employers buy coverage from BWC, then choose a private managed care organization to run the medical and return-to-work side of every claim. That MCO is who you bill — not BWC. Nine are certified today, down from thirteen to fifteen a decade ago, and no other state has this layer at all.

Phones, locations and claim volumes: BWC’s MCO Report Card, February 2026 edition. Provider fax numbers: the payer blocks printed on the CMS-1500 templates of a working Ohio voc-rehab practice. Current as of July 2026 — verify with the MCO and with Ohio BWC before you send anything.
A bill goes to the address on the payer block, and that is not always the head office: Spooner is a Westlake company that takes bills at Ranney Pkwy, and Sheakley is a Cincinnati company whose block says Blue Ash. These five are the blocks Med Claims Pro prints, taken from the CMS-1500 templates a working Ohio practice bills from.

Add the payer once — name, address, fax — and the form still generates: Med Claims Pro stamps that carrier block onto a blank CMS-1500 and routes the bill to that fax. Payer details are data you edit, never something compiled into the software.
Confirm all of this against BWC’s and each MCO’s own published provider materials before you rely on it. The primary sources: the BWC Provider Billing & Reimbursement Manual, Chapter 3 (PDF), the BWC MCO Report Card (PDF) and the BWC Provider Look-up.
Payer contact data goes stale. MCOs merge, rename and move: Sedgwick MCO is what CompManagement and CareWorks became; ProMedica is what HMS became. A number that was right last October can be dead this October, and nothing tells you except a bill that never gets paid. Re-check the fax on your own materials before a first bill to any payer, and when a payer goes quiet for a cycle.
This page is a practitioner’s reference, not official BWC guidance, and it carries the date it was checked for the same reason your bills carry the date they were filed.
An MCO does not pay a bill. It pays a stack of them, on one check, across claimants who have nothing to do with each other, and the remittance is a column of numbers you match by hand against a week you filed a month ago.
In the week below, a MinuteMen check covered four people. Three landed in full. Renata Salcido’s bill went out at $73.71 and came back at $57.57 — a gap of $16.14, flagged the moment the check was recorded, with the original form attached and ready to rebill inside the one-year window. Ten bills, $986.44 billed, $312.37 in, $674.07 still owed, sorted by MCO so you know who to call.
That is the whole argument for keeping payer routing as data rather than in your head. How the allocation works · How short-pays get caught.
Then you change it once, in one place, and every form and cover sheet from that minute on carries the new one. Payer details in Med Claims Pro are records you edit — name, address, phone, fax, the CMS-1500 template it uses — not values compiled into the software that we have to ship an update to fix.
The same is true when you take on a claimant whose employer picked an MCO you have never billed. Add the payer, and the claim form generates against it with its carrier block at the top. Nine MCOs is a small enough world that you will eventually meet all of them.

The employer’s MCO. Every Ohio state-fund employer selects one, and the claim carries it — so it is a fact about the case, not about the service. Get it wrong and the bill goes to a payer with no record of the claim. In Med Claims Pro the payer is attached to the case, and every form, fax and receivable row routes from there.
The provider fax printed on the MinuteMen OhioComp payer block is 888-644-7339, and the phone is 888-644-6266 (Cleveland). That is current as of July 2026, taken from a working practice’s CMS-1500 templates and BWC’s February 2026 MCO Report Card — confirm it against your own provider materials before a first bill, because payer contact data goes stale.
Because we cannot verify one. We print a fax only where we can see it on a real payer block; for CorVel, 3-hab, OHL and ProMedica we have no confirmed provider fax, and guessing would be worse than leaving it blank. Call their provider line and ask for the vocational rehabilitation billing fax.
Fax remains the working channel for voc-rehab bills, and the report has to travel with the bill. Send to the fax on your own provider materials and keep the transmission confirmation — with a one-year filing clock, that receipt is your evidence. Electronic billing to MCOs is on our roadmap, not something we ship today.
Nine are BWC-certified as of the February 2026 MCO Report Card, down from thirteen to fifteen in older BWC materials. The field consolidated: Sedgwick MCO is the former CompManagement and CareWorks; ProMedica is the former HMS. Two MCOs — CorVel and MinuteMen — manage roughly as many active claims as the other seven combined.
Edit the payer once. Every future form and cover sheet uses the new details, and previously filed bills keep what they were filed with, which is what an audit expects to see.
No. It is a practitioner’s reference, checked July 2026, assembled from BWC’s MCO Report Card and from payer blocks in real use. BWC’s own materials are the authority — verify before you rely on anything here.
