Open Enrollment Begins: May 2-May 27



It’s your turn
to choose…. And having a choice is easy… Between May 2 – May 27, 2016, Ohio employers will have the opportunity to select a new Managed Care Organization (MCO).  This selection period is called Open Enrollment and we want you to be prepared…. as you will be receiving a lot of information from many MCOs during this time.
 
The choice of an MCO is entirely yours and always will be.   However, Northwest Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has decided to recommend an MCO during this Open Enrollment period. (Health Management Solutions) Why this MCO?? Because we believe that HMS will provide you with a more proactive, quality driven service than you may not be currently experiencing.  
 
We have done an extensive review of this recommendation and endorsing Health Management Solutions (HMS) as a preferred MCO was done because of many reasons, but the key factors include the following:
 
·         HMS has the top score of all MCOs in the Days Absent Measurement of Disability (MoD) scores.*
·         HMS is licensed state-wide and is the 5th largest MCO, which means they have the infrastructure to serve all your needs, but are still small enough to provide personalized customer service.  (a big plus)
·         HMS provides a single point of contact for all your inquiries – one individual who knows your specific needs and claims history.
·         HMS offers online claims access 24 / 7 for individual claim look-up and other services.
 
By the way…. Choosing HMS will not affect your BWC rates and there is no fee!
 AND….This choice will not affect your group rating status or other TPA affiliation.
 
Laurie Poston is the Account Executive serving the county area, you may call her at 888-202-3515 x176 or 614-519-3213 if you have any questions about choosing Health Management Solutions as your BWC benefits provider.  Laurie is great to talk with and can help you with any of your questions.  Take it from us, HMS is our preferred MCO!

Thursday, May 19, 2016


 
Last Month, The Chamber Partnership joined the "Heroin Steals the Future – There is Help Campaign" and this month the Chamber will host the first ever “Help with Heroin” Symposium in Northwest Ohio.

Most heroin addicts are people with jobs--accountants, lawyers, construction workers, nurses, and secretaries. In other words, they are people who go to work every day. Businesses need to be educated about what can be done for those who may be an addict. The Chamber Partnership, by working together with the Heroin alliance, can strategize and develop resources for our members and the business community and this symposium will unveil those resources for local businesses.

Emcee: Fred LeFebvre WSPD Radio
Speakers include:
Keith Walker, Founder of the Heroin Alliance “Don’t Let Heroin Steal the Future”
Lucas County Sheriff’s D.A.R.T Drug Abuse Response Team
Team Recovery -
Jennifer Moses, CEO – The Zepf Center
