IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 04, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CorVel Corporation (NASDAQ:CRVL) announced today the successful implementation of their CareMC Edge data integration tool for the insurance carrier marketplace. Released last quarter, the Edge is the latest enhancement from the Company’s claims management system caremc.com. Over the last three months approximately 3,000 users have been added to the system. The adjuster workstation collects critical claims processing information in real time for integration with legacy claims platforms at workers’ compensation insurers.
“We’ve received very positive feedback from our customers regarding the new interface and they are actively providing input to further tailor and enhance features of the Edge,” said Michael Combs, CorVel’s President.
The Edge provides end users with a software-based workstation in which claims professionals can act in real time on the developing conditions in their claims most needing attention. The Edge will gather information from medical bill review, provider networks, directed care and case management activities. These separate data streams are consolidated and then combined with the carrier’s claims information, to provide the claims professional with a single site in which to take immediate action.
Currently under development is CareMC Edge 2.0 which will contain an interface for higher levels of management, including supervisors, for any escalating claim actions and to facilitate effective oversight of adjuster activity. Improved absence and turnover management is also included in the development as well as enhanced medical management codification and advanced pharmacy inventory management.
Results across a carrier’s book of business are the net result of millions of transactions. Consolidating information is a cumbersome task in traditional work environments. When the results of managed care activities are consolidated in real time, claims progress is facilitated, and overall combined costs are reduced. CorVel has seen approximately a 20% reduction of claims costs in the programs managed in an integrated process, and hopes to bring these results to its carrier customers.
CorVel remains focused on delivering innovative, technology-driven solutions with continuous investments in the Company’s technology infrastructure. The Edge has introduced the next generation of on-demand information processing solutions for risk management.
