Our fraud hotline is, well, hot! Thanks for making us aware of fraud all year long!

By Jeff Baker, Program Administrator, BWC Special Investigations Department

We have received more than 2,300 calls since we launched our new Fraud Hotline system on November 14, 2017, during International Fraud Awareness Week 2017.

The nearly 200 calls a month, means we have received 9 each work day, or more than one every working hour!

In our November 14, 2017 blog, we noted that calling the BWC Fraud Hotline is the most interactive and direct way for you to report an allegation of fraud. Our hotline puts you in direct contact with an agent in our Special Investigations Department, one ready and willing to listen to, document, and promptly act upon, your concerns.

We look forward to hearing from you, so give us a call at 1-800-644-6292 if you suspect fraud. We will conduct the investigation and determine the facts. Together, we are successfully combatting workers’ compensation fraud in Ohio – one most important call at a time.

Today, during International Fraud Awareness Week 2018, we thank you for your support!
