Torrance, CA– August 29, 2005 --Keenan,
the largest privately held broker and consultant in California,
announced today it is implementing new claims data analysis
tools for their employee benefits consulting practice. PSIMedica
Clinical Knowledge Manager (CKM) quantifies where employer’s
benefit dollars are going—so that Keenan can apply best
practices, and Keenan’s own industry-specific database
to identify areas for potential costs savings. This is a significant
development that provides employers new ways to hold down
the costs of health care benefit coverage without having to
pass along the rising costs to employees.
Tom Edwards, Senior Vice President of Keenan & Associates,
says, “With today’s clinical utilization patterns
and the resulting impact in spiraling health care benefit
costs, Keenan is maintaining its leadership in finding ways
that both employers and employees can receive the coverage
they need, at the best possible costs to both. With the
implementation of the new claims data base provided by PSIMedica
CKM technology, and our time-honored commitment to a collaborative
relationship with our clients, we will be able to make a
quantifiable impact on costs.”
Adds Steve Richter, Keenan’s HealthCare Senior Vice
President, “For more than three decades, clients have
looked to Keenan for creating solutions to some of their
most pressing concerns. This is another example of our dedication
to exceed customer expectations by helping our clients understand
the disease burden in their workforce and develop targeted
solutions to improve quality and reduce costs.”
