StrataCare Forms Alliance With CSC for Self-Insured Workers’ Compensation Market

StrataCare, LLC, a national provider of workers' compensation bill review software and services, announces a joint marketing and technical alliance with CSC (NYSE:CSC). Under the terms of the agreement, CSC will integrate StrataCare's medical bill review solution with RISKMASTER®, its comprehensive software suite, to help self-insured organizations, insurance pools and third-party administrators more efficiently and effectively manage claims and policy administration, legal matters and risk management processes (see also StrataCare, LLC).

CSC will offer its clients real-time access to StrataCare's medical bill review software and/or services integrated with CSC's RISKMASTER software suite. The addition of StrataWare® to the RISKMASTER suite will improve bill review savings and provide access to 27 national and regional Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO) networks.

"The collaboration has worked well due to StrataCare's ability to interface easily with other applications," said StrataCare's Chief Executive Officer, Scott Green. "StrataCare's products are built on Microsoft's .NET Framework which makes it possible for CSC to integrate with our state-of-the-art bill review solution quickly and easily."

"Adding StrataCare's bill review capabilities to our RISKMASTER product suite enables us to offer more functionality to our clients to help them efficiently review and process bills," said Jeffrey Ninowski, product manager in CSC's Property and Casualty Insurance Division. "Working with StrataCare supports our long-term product strategy of aligning with solution providers to complement and extend the value of the RISKMASTER suite. The result is a single system for administering all aspects of a policy and managing claims, including incident and legal matter management."
