Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 07, 2014

Healthcare Solutions, the parent company of Cypress Care, Procura Management, ScripNet and Modern Medical, today announced its wholly owned subsidiary, Cypress Care, has been selected by Utica National Insurance Group, one of the top 100 insurance organizations in the nation, to provide workers’ compensation pharmacy benefit management (PBM) services.

“Healthcare Solutions is pleased to have the opportunity to provide Utica National Insurance Group and its customers with best-in-class pharmacy management services,” said David A. George, CEO of Healthcare Solutions. “The company is committed to delivering superior solutions and service through market-leading utilization management strategies that produce maximum savings results for customers and positive outcomes for claimants.”

Through integration with GENEX Services, Inc. (GENEX), a leading provider of case management services to the workers’ compensation, disability and auto markets, Cypress Care will provide Utica National Insurance Group a customized suite of clinically-based pharmacy services to help ensure claimants receive appropriate medications as part of their workers’ compensation care path.

“In collaboration with our trusted managed care partner, GENEX, we selected Cypress Care as our PBM partner based on their proven success in delivering innovative pharmacy management services,” said Brian J.
