Viewing Policy Information
An employer or authorized representative can view general information about BWC and the services we offer without having an OHID account. However, you must create an OHID account (user ID and password) to access personal information about a policy or an individual claim.
You can also authorize multiple individuals to have access to your policy information. If several people handle workers' compensation issues, you can create one primary and secondary users.
Note: All users will need their own user ID and password.
Once you have an e-account, you can access specific policy information including:
- New policy look-up: Look up a list of new businesses that have applied for workers' compensation coverage.
- Demographic information: View and update demographic information including company name, mailing address and contact information.
- Coverage look-up: View if an employer has Ohio workers' compensation coverage.
- Coverage history: View the coverage history of a policy, including the date coverage was obtained, any lapses in coverage and the current status of the policy.
- Coverage history (non-Ohio): View the notification history for employers with non-Ohio coverage.
- View policy documents: View current and past policy invoices. Need help reading your invoice? View a five minute video on how to read your invoice.
Employers may choose electronic delivery for certain communication from BWC.
- Request eNotices: Authorized users select the type of communication they want to receive notice electronically and provide an email address for delivery. Users can choose to receive BWC updates or policy notices.
