PHILADELPHIA, April 08, 2009 - For the tenth consecutive year, Intracorp has been named the nation's leading case management services provider by Business Insurance magazine in its annual ranking published on April 6.

Intracorp managed approximately 1.4 million cases in 2008. “Case management services help individuals at a time when they need help the most,” said Mark Farrell, president of Intracorp. “Our goal is always to help improve the health and well-being of the individuals we serve, and to help them return to work safely after an illness or injury. We are pleased to once again be recognized as an industry leader in case management by Business Insurance.”

The organization’s case managers, most of whom are registered nurses and vocational rehabilitation specialists, work with treating physicians to coordinate appropriate, quality care, ensure patient satisfaction, improve medical outcomes, facilitate a patient's timely return to work, and decrease overall health care expenses.

For this ranking, Business Insurance defines case management as coordinating and monitoring treatment for catastrophic, complex or prolonged illnesses and injuries—including discharge planning, onsite or telephone case review and/or patient referrals—as well as managing communication among patients, providers and payers throughout the course of a claim.
