Sedgwick MCO has extensive experience guiding Ohio employers and injured employees through the managed care process. Our medical management and client services teams are located throughout the state – with concentrations in the Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo areas. With nearly 400 colleagues, we have the expertise and resources employers need, and our reach ensures we know their communities and providers.

When a workplace injury occurs, we focus on getting employees back to work, lowering medical bills and managing the overall process for employers. From day one, we work to ensure the medical aspects of each claim are organized and we develop a clear, customized return-to-work plan. Our high customer satisfaction level and overall performance results are driven by our communication and thoughtful focus on medical resolution and return to work.

Taking care of people is at the heart of everything we do.

Sedgwick MCO is a purpose and values-driven company. Our continual growth and evolution has been rooted in our consistent approach to the important work our colleagues perform each day. Our shared purpose has always been — and continues to be — to take care of people.
