The Ohio Comp Opportunity: Basic Training for Agents Who Want In

In this episode of Insurance Shoptalk, host Eric Stein of Insured Solutions speaks with Bob Butts of Alternative Comp Solutions (ACS) about Ohio’s newly approved Alternative Employer Organization (AEO) program—an innovative alternative to the state’s traditional Bureau of Workers’ Compensation system. They discuss how this new model allows agents to finally earn commissions on workers’ comp, helps employers save 20–30% on premiums, introduces a convenient pay-as-you-go billing structure, and simplifies claims management.

The conversation also explores how AEOs differ from PEOs, what agents need to know about the AC3 form and quoting process, and why this change opens major opportunities for agencies across Ohio.
