We urge you to enroll with Sedgwick MCO and take advantage of this no-cost resource to help you and your employees navigate the worker’ compensation system.
Your MCO plays a major role in your ability to control premium costs and qualify for savings opportunities. Sedgwick MCO touches every claim for their clients to organize treatment, coordinate return-to-work options, and reduce medical costs. Sedgwick MCO’s involvement in your workers’ compensation program enhances our ability to provide outstanding savings to our members.
The data is clear
- Sedgwick MCO averages 14% fewer lost days per claim than claims managed by other MCOs.1 Fewer lost workdays translates to less costly claims and lower premium rates.
- Sedgwick MCO reduced medical costs for their clients by an additional 19% below BWC fee schedule in 2024.2 All MCOs reduce medical bills to the BWC standard fee schedule, but this additional Sedgwick reduction enhances premium savings and discount options.
