ESIS Broadens Its Claims Services Using Data Analytics

Translating Untapped Information Into Actionable Findings Essential to Managing Claims

PHILADELPHIA – November 10, 2006 – ESIS, Inc., (“ESIS®”) a risk management services company of ACE USA, today announced that it is enhancing its claim services to more fully meet the growing needs of its clients. The new ESIS Impact^SM program places a major emphasis on data analytics – accessing data and transforming it into decision-making information -- as a basis for efficient and effective claim management to drive down clients’ total cost of loss.

The announcement comes as ESIS prepares to participate in the upcoming 15th Annual National Workers’ Compensation and Disability Conference® & Expo in Las Vegas, Nev., which showcases innovative and unique aspects of workers’ compensation and/or disability management initiatives that provide cost-saving ideas that can be implemented immediately.

According to David Patterson, President, ESIS, “Today’s risk managers need claim and risk control solutions that address the issues and challenges they face every day. Our customer-centric and balanced approach with ESIS Impact blends people, process and technology: a precise intake environment; focused claim teams; an exclusive provider network; proprietary pharmacy benefit management; and contemporary return to work tools. But, the distinctive difference is the way we use data analytics to measure outcomes and pinpoint cost drivers. It’s a diagnostic methodology designed to demonstrate results.”

The ESIS Impact program is further complemented by its expanded suite of global claim and risk control services and solutions:
