Revenue growth in the quarter was largely driven by sustained growth in the Company's claims management services. The gross margin for the quarter was adversely impacted by a shift in the revenues from higher margin services to lower margin services. The Company continued its strategic investment in mobile computing with significant advances during the quarter, including the release of its Claim Intake App available for both the Apple and Android markets. CorVel's mobile applications are designed to reduce time delays in the claims process in order to reduce the cost of risk for clients.
