Workers Compensation Group Premium Discount Plan
Save Significantly on Your Workers’ Compensation Premium
Did you know that many alternative discounts are available to help reduce your annual Ohio workers’ compensation costs? Through the Builders Exchange of Dayton workers’ compensation program, your organization can significantly reduce your workers’ compensation costs through a variety of alternative rating programs. Our program, administered by Sedgwick, offers you quality service and stability through the complex workers’ compensation environment.
For over 50 years, Sedgwick has been helping employers navigate Ohio’s workers’ compensation system, providing services to help them control claim-related costs and reduce premiums. Their team includes the experienced colleagues from CompManagement and CareWorks Comp. The two companies merged and are now Sedgwick. Together, they serve nearly 65,000 Ohio employers including organizations of all sizes operating in various industries across the state. Group rating programs administered by Sedgwick have produced over $4 billion in savings since group rating was introduced in 1991, and their group retrospective programs have returned over $630 million in premium refunds since the program began in 2009.
If your organization is not yet participating in this member benefit, and you would like to receive a free, no-obligation analysis from Sedgwick, click here to fill out the workers compensation group rating application or email our Program Manager, Julia Bowling at Julia.Bowling@Sedgwick.com

Natural Gas & Electricity Program (BX Energy Program)
The Builders Exchange, Inc. (“BX”) has partnered with Community Energy Advisors (“Community Energy”) to educate and empower BX Members to take control of their energy costs. The BX Energy Program is designed to provide a full suite of energy management services to BX Members.
In today's volatile energy market there are plentiful opportunities to shop for a better rate. Community Energy utilizes a competitive bid process to ensure BX Members receive the best rate. In addition, they specialize in the analysis of the entire bill to deliver savings and ROI from the utility
side as well.
1. All BX Members may request a free assessment of their utility bills to determine where savings opportunities exist, even if you are in an existing supply contract.
2. Enrollment is simple. Email or fax your most recent month's electric and gas bills to the BX. If it is determined that the program can provide you with a more competitive market rate, you will be provided with an authorization form that will enable you to be enrolled in the program.
To request your free assessment and to take control of your energy costs today, just send a copy of your most recent electric and natural gas bills to Kristin Niemeyer. One of our trusted energy advisors will then contact you to discuss your potential savings opportunities.

Verizon Wireless
Member companies having phones registered under their company's federal identification number can receive 22% off their Verizon Wireless bills on programs that are $34.99 and higher. With our new partnership with NPP, the discount would come off the primary line only (account level line). The account level price gives the account the unlimited minutes and messaging and then they choose the amount of data they want on the account (1GB, 2 GB, 4GB, etc.). Again, this account level cost does receive the 22% discount. All employees can register their personal liable phones (registered under a social security number) for a 15% discount or 18% if they choose the paperless billing option. Everyone will receive a 25% discount on accessories.
