Previous wording
The Company is an independent nationwide provider of medical cost containment and managed care services designed to address the escalating medical costs of workers’ compensation benefits, automobile insurance claims, and group health insurance benefits. The Company’s services are provided to insurance companies, TPAs, governmental entities, and self-administered employers to assist them in managing the medical costs and monitoring the quality of care associated with healthcare claims. In November 2023, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the occupational injury count for 2022 was 2.34 million compared to 2.24 million in 2021, 2.11 million in 2020, and 2.69 million in 2019.
