Finance Director Margaret Egan presented for the CorVel's Managed Care Plan. Managed Care refers to medical services part of a worker's compensation program. Managed care is advantageous to both the employee and employer. An employee receives the ease of access to medical care, third party assistance in handling claim, and referral services. The employer receives expertise in lowering claim cost..... The City received six responses to its RFP. The fmalists were lntracorp, Comprehensive Managed Care, and CorVel. All finalists offered unique features. The CorVel Plan matches the employee with an intake nurse which advises employees of the most appropriate caregiver and makes the appointment. CorVel manages all claims and the City does not declare a primary clinic. Selection of CorVel was an unanimous choice of the interview panel. Managed Care will start July 1. Egan thanked Eichers for information he provided regarding his employer's experience with CorVel. Benke asked if the City will be consulted when continued care is needed. Egan said the agreement allows for continued communication between CarVel, the City, and the employee.
