MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sedgwick, a leading global provider of technology-enabled risk, benefits and integrated business solutions, is now offering its well-established managed care solutions independent of claims administration.

Knowing that insurance carriers and employers have different systems, needs and workflows, Sedgwick's independent managed care solutions give clients the power to choose just one or several from our full suite of services — including comprehensive bill review, clinical and return-to-work solutions — to help with controlling costs, managing processes, and providing timely and effective care to employees and insureds. Whether complementing an existing program or standing up a fully integrated approach, Sedgwick's suite of managed care solutions provides a new choice.

Sedgwick offers a range of managed care services from which clients can choose. Cost containment solutions encompass medical bill review, complex review, nurse audit and bill negotiations. Within clinical care, solutions include nurse triage, case management, surgery nurse services, behavioral health, pharmacy management, transition work services, vocational return-to-work services and utilization review. Organizations can also benefit from utilizing Sedgwick's national preferred provider organization (PPO) and ancillary care networks, which include tens of thousands of high-quality providers, to meet program needs and expedite access to care.
