Ahold USA: MAC Risk Selects Acrometis’ ClaimExpert Claims Processing Platform

MAC Risk Management for Ahold USA has reported the selection of Acrometis' ClaimExpert Workers' Compensation Claim Processing Platform.

In its release, MAC Risk said that ClaimExpert will be used by MAC to enhance management of medical costs and to enable adjusters to achieve better outcomes for injured employees.

"Workers' comp is about achieving better outcomes for injured employees while improving management of ever increasing medical costs. After careful evaluation and analysis of ClaimExpert we believe the Acrometis platform provides MAC with all the most innovative approaches to accomplish both objectives," said Nick Parillo, vice president of Global Insurance for Royal Ahold, and president of MAC Risk.

Acrometis CEO P. Kevin Kilroy noted, "When we first started working with MAC Risk Management, we were impressed with how advanced they were in dealing with workers' compensation and getting their injured workers back to work. It is an honor for an organization with extremely knowledgeable and skilled professionals whose claims operations are as advanced as MAC Risk Management's to select our claims processing solution."

MAC Risk noted that for companies that manage their own workers' comp claims, it is particularly important to them to both control costs and get the injured worker back to work. It said ClaimExpert frees up the adjusters and gives them the tools that they need to help their co-workers back to work.

"Deliverable as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, the implementation time is much shorter and therefore we will start seeing the benefits much sooner. After seeing ClaimExpert, our claims organization can't wait to start using it," said Parillo.

Ahold USA, a subsidiary of Royal Ahold, N.V., supports four regional Divisions - Stop & Shop New England, Stop & Shop New York Metro, Giant Landover, and Giant Carlisle - that together operate nearly 775 supermarkets with approximately 120,000 associates in 14 states and the District of Columbia along with Peapod, an e- commerce grocery shopping/delivery service.

Acrometis' ClaiMExpert is a rules-based claims processing platform.
