BX Multi-Tiered Alliance Saves Group Members More Money

Since implementing the multi-tiered group rating Alliance, the BX workers’ comp program continues to offer the best possible premium savings options. For the upcoming 2008/2009 group rating year, you can save up to 85% - the maximum discount permitted by the BWC.  

The Alliance opens the possibility of great savings for many members in the BX Group—in the current group, the 314 members are expected to save over $9 million in premium payments!

By participating in the BX Workers’ Comp Group Rating Program, BX Group members have reduced their premiums and saved over $72 million since the inception of group rating.

Even if you are in another group rating program, there’s no cost or commitment to compare your current program to the savings and stability of the BX group. You could save thousands more!

Put a Workers' Comp EXPERT on Your Team

The administrator for the BX Group Rating Program is Compensation Consultants, Inc. (CCI), an industry leader in workers’ compensation cost control. 

The experts at CCI have been in business since 1950 and have been the BX choice to work with member firms in controlling their individual costs since the Exchange Program was established in 1991.

As your administrator, CCI will consult with you on claims management, help you save money through various BWC discount programs, report to you periodically on the status of your company’s claims activity and represent you at hearings before the BWC and Industrial Commission (IC), as permitted by BWC and IC regulations.

CCI has over 15,000 clients enrolled in group rating, with 30% of its business focused on construction-related firms. 

And their clients are happy… last year 97% of CCI customers chose to remain in their service.

Help Ensure the SAFETY of Your Employees

Maintaining a strong safety culture is the foundation for a good rating with the BWC. An established safety program will protect employees, equipment and property; provide financial strength; and maintain a company’s reputation.

 The BX Safety Program was designed with our members in mind. It is the strength behind the group and is dedicated to providing your staff ongoing, construction-specific safety education and information.

The Exchange program assists construction companies with their accident prevention and compliance issues.

As a BX Group member, your firm receives a free, personalized safety program, designed specifically for construction and reviewed in a training session with your safety designee.

The BX Safety Program also offers training courses (at a dramatically discounted rate for BX Group members,) a print and video resource library and an annual awards program.

Sponsored by the Builders Exchange of Central Ohio, the Safety Council of Greater Columbus (SCGC) is a state-approved safety council offering safety training and information to all employers regardless of their affiliation with the BX.

Participation incentive from BWC:

Employers can earn a 2% workers' compensation premium discount for meeting all of the eligibility requirements and an additional 2% performance bonus for reducing either frequency or severity by 10%, or with maintenance of both frequency and severity at zero. Employers must meet all eligibility requirements outlined above to be eligible for the performance bonus. (Self-insuring employers and state agencies are excluded from the discount offer but are encouraged to participate in the safety council program.)
