NEW Ohio Workers' Compensation Chamber Program!


 

Dear Chamber Members,
 
In our effort to contain Ohio workers' compensation rates for our members, we have found that membership in a group rating program is the most cost effective route to pursue. As a current chamber member, you would have no additional association dues to pay for participation into our chamber sponsored group plan.

We recommend the services of ProComp Risk Advisors for placement of your company in the proper BWC certified group rating program. They are a locally owned TPA and we are confident they will fulfill any of your workers' compensation concerns in a professional and responsive manner. Group discounts range from -10% to -53% discount of BWC base rates.

If you have any questions, please direct your inquires directly to Matt Ulrich at (419) 724-2667 or mulrich@procomp.biz. You may also visit our website at www.hschamber.com and click JOIN to learn more about this program offered to our members at the Chamber.

Sincerely,
Josh Torres
President and CEO
 

Paramount Insurance Available for Chamber members!

Picture

Many businesses, especially smaller businesses, want affordable health insurance for their employees, but lack the buying power of much larger companies. By joining the Anthony Wayne Regional Chamber of Commerce, smaller businesses can take advantage of group buying power through special Alliance plans from Paramount that offer extremely competitive prices and a variety of plan options.  Paramount’s association plans are for northwest Ohio businesses with 2-49 employees, as well as self-employed individuals who belong to an association.  Alliance plans are available fully-funded, under our HMO or CDHP platform. We have a variety of association plan options for you to choose from. Please contact the Chamber today for more information and to be connected with one of our brokers.
