Medical Cost Estimator As the health care industry evolves, AultCare has developed a transparency tool to give members more power when making decisions about their health care. The AultCare Medical Cost Estimator was designed to give members an estimate, with the consideration of their deductible/out-of-pocket expenses, as to what members can expect to pay for a wide variety of in-network services and procedures. Now, members have the ability to compare the costs between different physicians, hospitals and facility charges.
How it Works: • AultCare members log into their account • Select the member who will receive the procedure/treatment • Select the procedure/treatment you want to inquire about • Choose up to four providers for a cost comparison • Review the provider estimates

AultComp MCO Since 1997, AultComp MCO has been committed to assisting employees with their workers’ compensation claims. AultComp MCO is a workers’ compensation managed care organization, contracted with the State of Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC). Our statewide certification allows us to manage claims for employers located in all 88 Ohio counties, working with any provider that is enrolled as a BWC certified provider.
AultComp MCO received full accreditation from the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission (URAC) in Case Management version 4.0. This URAC accreditation confirms to our injured workers and employers that they are receiving the best standards of practices through their workers’ compensation claims. Currently, AultComp MCO is in a reaccreditation process for URAC Case Management version 5.0. AultComp MCO’s persistence and commitment to deliver excellent service was recognized by the annual BWC report card for 2015. AultComp MCO was recognized as the best managed care organization to assist injured employees in their return to work after an injury.1 Additionally, AultComp MCO was rated number one in First Report of Injury Timing (FROI).2 AultComp MCO
encouraged employers and injured workers to file claims quickly, which resulted in a quick turnaround time for the injured workers to receive medical treatment and focus on their safe return to work. This efficient turnaround process saved our employers money as we started the process quickly and completed it in an efficient manner.

As part of this conversion, AultComp MCO will have more efficient reporting and audit capabilities. Additionally, AultComp MCO will be able to provide more proficiencies in the treatment pre-certification and bill payment processes.
