Save Money Now!
Is your organization trying to find a way to reduce costs? Save money now by being reviewed for the Ohio Dairy Producers Association workers’ compensation group rating discount program. Workers’ compensation premiums can be costly in today’s economy and group rating is still one of the BEST options available to reduce that expense upfront.
If you explored our plan in the past, it’s time to take a second look. You owe it to yourself to explore the options and savings a membership entitles you to receive. If you participate in another group rating program, you may not be saving as much as possible and you may be paying extra dues to belong to another group.
CompManagement is currently in the process of reviewing employers for our group discount program for the 2012 rate year. To receive a free, no obligation savings quote, click here or contact CompManagement’s Customer Support Unit at (800) 825-6755, option 3 to request an analysis by phone.
