The Insurance Journal reports that American Claims Management Inc., a national third party administrator (TPA), has been selected as the workers’ compensation TPA for El Camino Hospital in Northern California. Under the terms of the contract, which was effective July 1, 2013, ACM will manage claims, bill review, managed care, subrogation, investigation and other ancillary services for new claims. ACM will also take over the administration of approximately 300 existing claims from the prior TPA.

“After conducting a very thorough search, we are excited to work with ACM,” said Sandra Speer, director of Employee and Labor Relations at El Camino Hospital. “ACM is well-suited to help us manage workers’ compensation claims while continuing to provide quality care for our employees.”

“El Camino Hospital and ACM are a great match because both companies embrace innovation,” says Deirdre Gonzalez, president of ACM’s Workers’ Compensation Division. “In fact, El Camino Hospital and its advanced robotics program were featured in a piece by 60 Minutes showcasing the economic impact of robots. So, it’s no surprise that the organization sought an equally forward-thinking TPA.”

Since 1988, American Claims Management has been a nationwide third party claims administrator specializing in both commercial and personal lines.
