SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR ADMINISTRATION OF
A CLAIMS PROGRAM
This Service Agreement for Administration of a Claims Program dated June , 2022
(the "Agreement"), is entered into by and between Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.
("Sedgwick"), and City of Lodi (the "Client") (Sedgwick and Client together the "Parties").
RECITALS

desires to have Sedgwick provide the specific services set forth below in connection with
such self-insured program (the "Program," as defined on the attached Exhibit A).
2. Sedgwick is willing to provide such services on the terms and conditions hereinafter
stated.
AGREEMENT
1. Services to Be Performed by Sedewick: Sedgwick agrees to perform the following
services:
A. With regard to Claims Administration, Sedgwick shall:
(1) During the term of this Agreement, review all claim and loss reports
received from Client that are required to be reviewed under the Program (a
"Qualified Claim"), and process each such claim or loss report in
accordance with applicable statutory and administrative regulations;
(2) Conduct an investigation of each Qualified Claim to the extent deemed
necessary by Sedgwick in the performance of its obligations hereunder;
(3) Arrange for independent investigators, appraisers, or medical or other
experts to the extent deemed necessary by Sedgwick in connection with
processing any Qualified Claim;
(4) Pay benefits, expenses, and adjust or settle each Qualified Claim, but only
if in the sole judgment of Sedgwick such payment would be prudent for
Client and the anticipated amount thereof does not exceed the limit
specified in accordance with paragraphs 2F and 2G below, or as Client
specifically approves or directs such action in writing;
(5) Maintain a file for each Qualified Claim which shall be the property of
Client (for self-insured claims) or Insurer (for insured claims) and which
shall be available for review by Client or Insurer during normal business
hours upon three (3) days' prior written notice;
28127 1
(6) Notify Client's first layer of insurance coverage for each Qualified Claim
where the values may exceed Client's retention, providing such insurer
with necessary information on the current status of those claims, unless
relieved of this obligation by Client pursuant to paragraph 2A;
(7) Assist Client's counsel, if requested, in preparing the defense of litigated
cases arising out of Qualified Claims, negotiating settlements and pursuing
subrogation or contribution actions;
(8) Maintain a current estimate of the expected total cost of each Qualified
Claim which is based on facts known at the estimation date, but is not
trended or actuarially developed;
(9) Use a proprietary data management system to furnish to Client agreed
upon loss and information reports. These reports shall contain information
such as each Qualified Claim date, condensed claim description, payments
made, estimated future costs and total expected costs of all Qualified
Claims, as well as summary and other data deemed relevant by Sedgwick,
but not IBNR (incurred but not reported) claims or actuarially developed
loss values; and
(10) Annually report federal, state and local 1099 information under Client's
tax identification number(s), when Client has provided all required IRS
authorizations, for vendor payments issued by Sedgwick on bank accounts
owned by Client, but not for payment authorizations when Sedgwick does
not issue the checks.
B. Sedgwick will provide managed care services as set forth in the attached Managed
Care Service Schedule.
C. Sedgwick shall provide the special investigative unit (SIU) services set forth in
the attached SIU Service Schedule.
D. Sedgwick will provide the MMSEA/SCHIP Reporting services as set forth in the
Medicare Reporting Services Schedule attached hereto.
E. Sedgwick will provide the clinical consultation services as set forth in the Clinical
Consultation Services Schedule attached hereto.
2. Obligations of Client:
A. Client shall provide Sedgwick in a timely manner with its first layer of insurance
coverage for the policy years necessary for proper notification of applicable
Qualified Claims to such first layer insurers by Sedgwick. Should Client fail to
provide this information, Sedgwick shall be relieved of any such reporting
obligations.
28127 2
B. Client shall pay to Sedgwick a service fee which, in the initial term of this
Agreement, shall be computed and payable as shown on the attached Exhibit B,
plus applicable taxes, if any. Client shall reimburse Sedgwick for the reasonable
and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Sedgwick such as travel
expenses in conjunction with the services being performed. If Client, in its sole
discretion, requests Sedgwick to perform services outside of the scope of work
listed herein, then Client shall compensate Sedgwick for such services at
Sedgwick's then applicable standard rates for such service.
C. Client shall at all times provide funds adequate for the payment of Qualified
Claims, including allocated loss adjustment expenses. For purposes of this
Agreement, allocated loss adjustment expenses shall mean all costs, charges or
expenses incurred by Sedgwick, its agents or its employees which are properly
chargeable to a Qualified Claim including, without limitation, court costs; fees
and expenses of attorneys; appeal bonds; independent adjusters; investigators;
appraisers; vocational services, training or evaluation; medical expenses and
medical cost containment service providers (including those provided by
Sedgwick, if applicable); durable medical equipment; rehabilitation services;
experts and witnesses; fees for obtaining statements, diagrams, reports, records,
documents, transcripts, depositions, Medicare reporting and compliance services
fees and costs, index bureau filings and re -filings, and photographs; cost of file
retrieval; cost associated with the pursuit of subrogation and/or Special Injury
Fund claims; hearing representation services; and travel fees and expenses
incurred at Client's request. Sedgwick may, but need not, elect to utilize its own
staff or affiliated entities to perform these services. Associated fees and costs will
be charged as allocated loss adjustment expenses.
D. Client shall deposit funds for payment of Qualified Claims, including allocated
loss adjustment expenses, in a bank account or accounts (the "Claim Account").
Client shall be responsible for providing sufficient funds to enable Sedgwick to
write checks on the Claim Account for use in the payment of Client's Qualified
Claims. Such funds shall be provided by electronic funds transfer at the inception
of the Program and replenished by electronic funds transfer promptly from time to
time thereafter. The amount of the escrow required for the Claim Account may
be modified in the following instances:
(1) There is a substantial increase or decrease in claims payment activity;
(2) Client fails to fund the Claim Account within the agreed upon time period;
(3) There is a change in funding cycle;
(4) The escrow is recalculated at Client's request; or
(5) The escrow amount is automatically recalculated on an annual basis.
E. It is expressly understood that Sedgwick shall not be required to advance its own
28127 3
funds to pay losses or allocated loss adjustment expenses for any Qualified Claim
hereunder. It is further understood that if Client fails to promptly provide funds
sufficient to allow required payments to be made timely, or if funds previously
provided by or on behalf of Client are seized, frozen or otherwise unavailable to
Sedgwick to allow required payments to be made timely on account of the
bankruptcy, receivership, or other insolvency proceeding of Client [or Insurer, in
cases where Insurer funds claim account], Sedgwick will have no obligation to
perform any claims payments services during any period of underfunding.
F. Sedgwick shall have full discretion to make an individual payment of an allocated
loss adjustment expense in an amount up to $25,000 on any Qualified Claim and
shall not need the approval of Client to make such payments. This amount may
be changed at any time by Client upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to
Sedgwick. It is agreed that Sedgwick shall have full authority and control in all
matters pertaining to the payment, processing, investigation and administration of
Qualified Claims within the limit established by this paragraph.
G. Sedgwick shall have full discretion to redeem, compromise or settle any Qualified
Claim for an amount not to exceed $0.00 and shall not need the approval of Client
to consummate such redemption, compromise or settlement. This amount may be
changed at any time by Client upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to
Sedgwick. Failure of Sedgwick to settle a Qualified Claim within such limit,
however, shall not subject Sedgwick to any liability whatsoever in the event of an
adverse judgment entered by any court or the settlement of such Qualified Claim
for an amount in excess of such limit.
H. Should Client fail to make timely payments of any service fees due Sedgwick or
should Client in any other way breach a material term of this Agreement,
Sedgwick shall then have the right to refuse to perform any further services or
terminate this Agreement. If Sedgwick elects to exercise its rights under this
paragraph, in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies, Sedgwick will have
the right to its full minimum fee, if any, as well as any other fees for which
Sedgwick may be eligible, and may collect such fees from any loss fund that may
be in Sedgwick's care, custody and control.
I. Upon receipt of any form of notice advising of facts which are or may be a
Qualified Claim, Client shall promptly assign the Qualified Claim to Sedgwick
for management. Client shall promptly provide Sedgwick with such information
as Sedgwick may require, including, but not limited to, any copy of documents
describing its Program, including but not limited to documents submitted to any
legal, administrative or regulatory authority for approval of the Program, as well
as incident reports and related information in Client's possession and otherwise
cooperate with Sedgwick in carrying out Sedgwick's tasks hereunder.
28127 4
3. Discontinuance of Operations:
Should Client discontinue its business for any reason, all fees due Sedgwick shall be paid
immediately. Sedgwick shall have no further obligation to continue to provide the
services called for in this Agreement, and, at Sedgwick's option, this Agreement shall be
considered terminated as of the date Client ceases operations or is subject to a bankruptcy
or receivership filing, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
4. Covered Jurisdictions:
This Agreement shall cover all operations of Client in the state of California.
5. Term of Agreement and Termination:
A. The term of this Agreement shall be for the period commencing on July 1, 2022
and ending on June 30, 2023. Client shall have the option to extend the
Agreement term for two (2) additional one (1) year periods upon terms and
conditions mutually agreeable to the Parties. It shall be a condition to effective

Client shall continue to make adequate funds available for the payment of such
Qualified Claims, including any allocated loss adjustment expenses and pay
information technology fees, fees for encrypted data files, program management
fees, and any other applicable fees. This provision shall not apply unless the
additional fee for this service shall have been negotiated and agreed to in writing

herein, and Client shall pay Sedgwick a mutually agreed upon fee, plus the
prevailing fee for any information technology or encrypted data files required by
Insurer.
E. If Insurer fails to pay Sedgwick service fees which it is obligated to pay, then
Sedgwick may present all unpaid invoices to Client and Client shall pay such
service fees within thirty (30) days of presentment. If Insurer is responsible for
28127 5
funding the Claim Account and fails to adequately do so, then Client shall
immediately and adequately fund the Claim Account upon notice from Sedgwick
of the deficiency.
F. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Sedgwick shall deliver, at
Client's sole cost, the hard copy and imaged files that Sedgwick has maintained
for Qualified Claims (but not including any computer hardware, firmware,
software or other proprietary information of Sedgwick), except those Sedgwick
has agreed in writing to continue to process or files that are owned by Insurer;
provided, however, that Sedgwick or its agents, employees or attorneys shall
continue to be entitled to inspect all such files and make copies or extracts there
from. Imaged files shall be transferred to Client in the same electronic format.
Client shall pay Sedgwick a one-time payment for transition of Qualified Claims
as consideration for Sedgwick's associated costs, which costs may include, but

to accept such files, they will be retained or destroyed at Sedgwick's option and
Client shall have no recourse against Sedgwick for failure to retain them.
G. Should Client terminate the Agreement for convenience within the first twelve
months of the Agreement, the Client shall pay Sedgwick fees equal to three
months of the service fees. Should Client terminate for convenience within the
second twelve months of the Agreement, the Client shall pay Sedgwick fees equal
to two months of the service fees. Termination fees are payable within thirty (30)
days of the date of notice of such termination.
6. Professional Advice:

law, and services provided shall not be considered legal, tax or accounting advice, and
Sedgwick shall in no event give, or be required to give, any legal opinion or provide any
legal, tax or accounting representation to Client. Client acknowledges that Sedgwick has
been engaged to provide certain professional services and that it is not the intent of the
Parties that Sedgwick assume any insurance risk. Sedgwick shall not act as an insurer for
Client, and this Agreement shall not be construed as an insurance policy; it being
understood that Sedgwick is in no event financially responsible for payment or
satisfaction of Client's claims, lawsuits, or any form of cause of action against Client
from Sedgwick funds.
28127 6
7. Indemnification:
A. Sedgwick shall be fully responsible for exercising reasonable care at all times in
the performance of its obligations hereunder. However, if Sedgwick is named as
a party to any litigation or proceeding, or is the subject of any claim or demand
because of its actions on behalf of Client, Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and
hold Sedgwick, its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from any
and all losses, damages, costs, judgments and expenses (including attorneys' fees
and costs) with respect to any such litigation, proceeding, claim or demand, unless
and until a finding is entered to the effect that Sedgwick failed to exercise such
reasonable care in the performance of its obligations hereunder. Sedgwick agrees
to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Client, its directors, officers, employees
and agents from and against any and all liabilities, loss or damage that they may
suffer as a result of any claim, demand, cost or judgment against them arising out
of the negligence or willful misconduct of Sedgwick in connection with its
performance under this Agreement, provided that such acts or omissions do not
arise out of or relate to oral or written instructions, procedures or forms supplied
by Client or to Client's internal management or adjustment of its claims. Each
party agrees to keep the other fully informed of any matter for which it is
defending, holding harmless or indemnifying the other party. Each party reserves
the right to appoint its own counsel, at its own expense, regarding any matter
defended hereunder and to approve any settlements of same.
B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above paragraph, it is
understood and agreed that if Client, directly or through a subcontractor or vendor
of Client's choosing ("Client Subcontractor"), retains administration of a claim or
performs any services for a claim Sedgwick administers, or if Client otherwise
directs the administration of a claim, Client will indemnify, defend, and hold
Sedgwick, its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from the losses,
damages, costs, judgments and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) as a
result of any litigation or proceeding, fines, penalties, revocation of license, or any
other state regulatory investigation or action arising against Sedgwick related to
the acts or omissions of Client or the Client Subcontractor.
C. If Client's access to claim data includes the ability to add and modify data,
Sedgwick shall not be required to verify, or otherwise be responsible for, the
accuracy of data added or modified by Client. Client shall indemnify, defend and
hold Sedgwick, its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless for any loss,
cost (including attorneys' fees), claim or judgment which is attributable to
Client's input or modification of data.
D, The Parties agree that in no event shall Sedgwick's liability under this Agreement
exceed the service fees paid to Sedgwick for the six (6) months immediately prior
to the event from which the claim or matter arises. IN NO EVENT SHALL
SEDGWICK BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO REVENUES,
PROFITS OR GOODWILL OR OTHER SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL
28127 7
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND RESULTING FROM ITS
PERFORMANCE OR FAILURE TO PERFORM UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
OR RESULTING FROM THE FURNISHING, PERFORMANCE, USE OR
LOSS OF USE OF ANY SOFTWARE, SYSTEM, SITE, OR DELIVERABLE
PROVIDED TO CLIENT HEREUNDER, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION ANY INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF SEDGWICK
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR
DAMAGE.
E. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an indemnifying party will not settle a claim
without the indemnified party's written consent, unless such settlement results in
(i) a full release of all Parties, (ii) no liability to the indemnified party or future
obligation of the indemnified party, and (iii) no admission of wrongdoing by
Client or Sedgwick.
F. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of the
Agreement.
8. Network Security/Confidentiality:
A. If Client's access to the data management system requires a network connection
(the "Network Connection") between Client's network and Sedgwick's network,
Sedgwick and Client shall take reasonable and customary precautions to prevent
unauthorized access to or use of the Network Connection through their respective
networks. The Parties agree, however, that each party is responsible for the
security of its own network. Neither party shall be liable to the other for
unauthorized access to the Network Connection, so long as the accused party shall
have taken reasonable and customary precautions to prevent such unauthorized
access.
B. Whether or not marked as such, and without regard to the media in which such
records are stored, "Confidential Information" shall mean:
(1) any business or technical information pertaining to the Parties or to third
parties, which is furnished, disclosed or made available by one party to the
other, including, without limitation, specifications, prototypes, software,
marketing plans, financial data and personnel statistics; and
(2) Medical records, reports and information, as well as any other non-
medical records, reports or information pertaining to claimants under the
Program.
C. Each party agrees to protect Confidential Information received hereunder with the
same degree of care that such party exercises with its own confidential
information (but in no event less than reasonable care) and to limit access and
disclosure of Confidential Information only to their employees, agents and
28127 8
contractors who have a "need to know," and who agree to maintain confidentiality
in accordance with this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client agrees to
permit Sedgwick to compile and disseminate aggregate, de -identified information
for auditing, compliance, internal assessments, process improvement and related
analytics, benchmarking purposes or forward to a data collection facility data for
Qualified Claims handled pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such facility
agrees in writing to keep Client's data confidential. Further, Sedgwick shall be
entitled, without violation of this section and without the prior consent of Client,
to retain claims administration information and to forward claims administration
information to government agencies to the extent required by law for the proper
performance of the services set forth herein.
D. The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of the
Agreement.
9. Notices:
Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be sent by certified or
registered mail, postage prepaid, to General Counsel - Americas, Sedgwick Claims
Management Services, Inc., 8125 Sedgwick Way, Memphis, TN 38125, in the case of
Sedgwick, and to the City of Lodi - Risk Manager, P.O. Box 3006, Lodi, CA 95241-1910
in the case of Client.
10. Assignment:
The Client may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Sedgwick may
assign or subcontract part of the services required hereunder and may at its discretion
delegate to a subsidiary or affiliate such of its duties as it deems appropriate, provided
that such subcontracting or delegation shall not relieve Sedgwick of any of its obligations
hereunder.
11. Entire Agreement and Modification or Amendment:
This Agreement and its attached exhibits and schedules represents the full and final
understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter described herein and
supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, express or
implied. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written statement
signed by both Parties.
12. Applicable Law:
The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Tennessee without regard to conflicts of law principles. If any dispute or claim arises
hereunder that the Parties are not able to resolve amicably, the Parties agree and stipulate
that such litigation shall be resolved in the State of Tennessee, and the Parties irrevocably
submit to the exclusive venue and jurisdiction of such court for the purpose of any such
28127
action or proceeding. In the event of a dispute between the Parties resulting in litigation,
the prevailing party may, in addition to any other relief obtained, recover its court costs
and reasonable attorney's fees.
13. Force Ma'eure:
Neither party shall be liable to the other party or be deemed to have breached this
Agreement for any failure or delay in the performance of all or any portion of its
obligations under this Agreement if such failure or delay is due to any contingency
beyond its reasonable control (a "Force Majeure Event"). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, such contingency includes, but is not limited to, acts of God, fires,
floods, pandemics, storms, earthquakes, riots, boycotts, strikes, lock -outs, acts of terror,
wars and war operations, restraints of government, power or communication line failure
or other circumstance beyond such party's reasonable control, or by reason of the
bankruptcy, receivership or other insolvency proceeding of any bank or other financial
institution where funds to pay losses and allocated loss adjustment expenses are held, or
by reason of a judgment, ruling or order of any court or agency of competent jurisdiction
or change of law or regulation subsequent to the execution of this Agreement. Both
Parties are obligated to provide reasonable back-up capability to avoid the potential
interruptions described above. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, the party delayed or
unable to perform shall give immediate notice to the other party. Client acknowledges
that the foregoing provision does not apply to Client's obligation to make timely payment
of any fees due Sedgwick, and that Sedgwick shall be entitled to all remedies set forth in
this Agreement and those allowed by law for Client's failure to timely pay such fees.
14. Headjn,2s:
Headings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in any
interpretation of this Agreement.
15. Relationshi of Parties; Expenses:
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership or joint
venture between the Parties; the only relationship among the Parties shall be that of
independent parties to a contract. Except as expressly provided herein, no party hereto
shall have authority or shall hold itself out as having authority to act for or bind any other
party hereto. Except as expressly set forth herein, each party shall bear all expenses it
may incur in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
16. Waiver of Breach:
Failure of either party hereto to require the performance by the other party hereto of any
obligation under this Agreement shall not affect its right subsequently to require
performance of that or any other obligation. Any waiver by any party hereto of any
breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a continuing waiver
28127 10
of any such provision or a waiver of any succeeding breach or modification of any other
right under this Agreement.
17. Subcontractor Disclosure:
Through contractual arrangements with subcontractors, Sedgwick provides a full range of
medical management and investigative services to its clients, as well as structured
settlements, claim indexing services, imaging, auto -bill adjudication, and extra -territorial
claims administration services. Medical management services include, but are not
limited to, bill review, network access, pharmacy benefits management, peer review, field
case management, electro -medical devices, bone growth stimulators, orthotics,
prosthetics, translation and interpretation, transportation, medical supplies, IV and
respiratory therapy, home health, and durable medical equipment. Client recognizes and
agrees that delivery of some of these services are being provided pursuant to separate
agreements between subcontractors and Sedgwick. Invoices for these services will be
paid as allocated loss adjustment expenses on individual claims, unless otherwise agreed
between Client and Sedgwick. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Client agrees and
understands that Client is obligated to make payment to the subcontractors either directly
or by remitting such payment to Sedgwick, for any money due for subcontracted services
which have been provided under this Agreement. Client acknowledges that Sedgwick
receives a portion of charges for subcontracted services as reimbursement for cost of
program management, administration, and technological and service enhancements. In
no event will charges to Client exceed the amount indicated in the Agreement.
18. Equitable Adjustment:
This Agreement contemplates that the standards applicable to this Agreement are those in
effect on the date of this Agreement, whether such standards are set forth in statutes,
regulations, rules, orders, case law or otherwise. In the event of a change in a service
standard, Sedgwick shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in its compensation if
such change increases Sedgwick's cost of providing the services under this Agreement or
reduces its profitability.
19. Non -Solicitation:
Client acknowledges and agrees that Sedgwick personnel who perform the services are a
valuable asset to Sedgwick and difficult to replace. Accordingly, Client agrees that,
during the term of the Agreement, and for twelve months thereafter, it will not solicit,
contract or hire Sedgwick personnel or encourage them to seek employment or any other
contractual arrangements with Client. The Parties further agree that in the event Client
breaches the provision of this Section, Client shall pay Sedgwick liquidated damages in
the amount of two times the annual compensation to be paid to such person for each such
breach, which is the Parties' good faith estimate of the amount of damages to Sedgwick
from such breach. This Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

MANAGED CARE SERVICE SCHEDULE
Client has chosen the following managed care services, as defined herein:
(1) Provider Fee Management - The bill review process reviews bills against up-to-
date and accurate mandated state fee schedules or the usual and customary
("UCR") data base, whichever is appropriate, to reveal excessive, duplicate, or
inappropriate charges.
(2) Preferred Provider Organization ("PPO") Networks - Sedgwick will arrange for
access and channeling to national and regional PPO networks including specialty
networks (Diagnostics, Physical Therapy, etc.) under the managed care program in
conjunction with the Provider Fee Management service.
(3) Hospital Bill Review - Hospital or outpatient non -PPO bills will be reviewed by a
nurse for possible errors or excessive charges relative to the patient's medical
diagnosis at Sedgwick's or Client's request.
(4) Out of Network Bill Review — Bills from out of network health care providers will
be reviewed, and if appropriate a negotiation with the billing provider will be
pursued. Additionally, inpatient and outpatient procedures that are not addressed
by an individual state's fee schedule or UCR will be repriced to a geographically
driven and cost to charge repricing database to determine appropriate
reimbursement.
(5) Specialty Usual and Customary Review — Sedgwick's vendors will apply
geographic charges (fee for same procedure charged by other providers in same
area) and cost to charge ratios (actual cost to provider for procedure or hospital
stay v. amount charged) to determine reimbursement of medical services billed
that are not addressed within the jurisdictional fee schedule or usual and customary
reimbursement.
(6) Field Case Management - Sedgwick will assign appropriate cases for field medical
and vocational management services.
(7) Utilization Review, which includes the following components:
(a) Prospective Review - a review prior to treatment or admission conducted
by an experienced registered nurse to validate or negotiate the necessity,
setting, frequency, intensity and duration of care delivery.
(b) Concurrent Review - during the course of treatment, a review of treatment
and planned procedures and establishment of target completion dates.
(c) Retrospective Utilization Review- a review post treatment conducted by an
experienced registered nurse to identify inappropriate treatment utilization.

diagnosis questions.

whereby a network of pharmacies, local to Employer sites/employee residences
will provide prescription medications related to the work related injury with no out
of pocket expenses to the employee.
(9) Pharmacy review services include a review of all current medications prescribed to
the claimant as well as a review of over the counter medication being taken by the
claimant. The purpose of the review is to evaluate whether the medications
prescribed to and/or taken by the claimant are appropriate for treatment of the
injury or ailment which is the subject of the underlying claim being administered
by Sedgwick.
(10) Telephonic Case Management services are described below and are available upon
request and for an additional fee.
(11) Complex file review (nurse review) - Hospital or outpatient non -PPO bills that
meet specific, pre -established criteria may be reviewed by a nurse for possible
errors or excessive charges relative to the patient's medical diagnosis.
Additional Managed Care Services
Telephonic Case Management
Sedgwick will provide a telephonic medical case management program in which nurse case
managers receive early notice of a worker's injury and telephonically manage the appropriate
cases. Other elements of the Telephonic Case Management program include:
• The management phase includes ongoing return to work ("RTW") and treatment plan
management and negotiation. The treating physician will be contacted within forty-eight (48)
hours to assess/determine the treatment and RTW plan, including any negotiation required to
approve the treatment plan. The Client may also be contacted to assess/determine RTW
opportunities. By continuing to contact the injured worker, the provider, and the Client, case
management is best able to facilitate early RTW and appropriate treatment.
• The case may go simultaneously to the assigned claim examiner and nurse or the Sedgwick
claims professional will make initial contacts to determine compensability and triage based on
preset triggers and/or the claims professional's judgment to determine if the case will be sent
to a telephonic case management nurse.
• Throughout the telephonic case management process, telephone contact will be made with the
provider, employee, and Client. Status reports will be provided, within seventy-two (72)
hours, to the claims professional via documentation in the data management system as
significant events (e.g., surgery, treatment plan updates, RTW status, etc.) occur in a case, and
no less often than every thirty (30) days.
If, at the end of thirty (30) days, the case has not closed, the nurse case manager will
contact the claims professional with a recommendation. At that time, the case will either:
Close based on a decision by the claims professional
Continue with case management on a month-to-month basis until closure and/or RTW
28127 21
and/or maximum medical improvement (MMI).
Be referred for Field Case Management
Documentation of this contact will be transmitted electronically to the data management
system.
• Sedgwick claims offices will receive standard, open, closed, referred, and savings reports. All
information collected will allow for insured level, by office reporting. Client customized
communication reports may carry an additional charge to be borne directly by Client. If this
is the case, these charges will be detailed in a separate document to be agreed upon in writing
between the Parties.
Evaluation and Recommendation
The Sedgwick Evaluation and Recommendation program involves triage contact with the injured
worker, treating physician and, if appropriate and necessary, Client, to determine treatment and
return to work ("RTW") plans and appropriateness for telephonic case management.
• In the evaluation and recommendation phase, a Sedgwick nurse will receive demographic and
initial claims professional contact information and open the case. The treating physician will
be contacted within forty-eight (48) hours to assess/determine the treatment and RTW plan,
including any negotiation required to approve the treatment plan. The Client may also be
contacted to assess/determine RTW opportunities.
• Status reports will be provided, within seventy-two (72) hours to the claims professional via
documentation in the data management system as significant events (e.g., surgery, treatment
plan updates, RTW status, etc.) occur in a case, and no less often than every thirty (30) days.
• Continued telephonic case management will proceed on only those cases in which clinical
activities can assist in resolving medical or RTW issues at the discretion of the Sedgwick
claims professional. These activities require regular contact with the injured worker, treating
physician or therapist, and Client, as appropriate.

to speak with the injured employee at the time that the claim is reported in order to make
recommendations whether medical intervention is needed. At the time of the initial call to

to assess the injury, recommend immediate return -to -work or refer the claimant to the appropriate
medical treatment provider, and document the care recommendation.
Sedgwick will make outbound calls to the injured employee on appropriate claims to obtain
injured employees status and conduct the clinical consultation survey 24 hours after the initial
