Chicago Nov. 29"To be recognized by the Buyers Choice Awards as the top third-party claims administrator is a tremendous honor for our 9,814 colleagues and the work they do each and every day," said David A. North, president and CEO of Sedgwick. "As the industry leader, Sedgwick offers the most comprehensive array of claims, managed care, and productivity management solutions available today. The results of the Buyers Choice survey reaffirm that our investment in technical resources, emerging technology, and professional development is valued by those we serve."
To determine the award recipients, Business Insurance retained an independent research firm to survey its buyer audience, including those who manage and purchase risk management, benefits management, and insurance products and services. The survey was designed to identify the service and expertise qualities that buyers regard as most valuable in their brokers, insurers, and third-party claims administrators. Survey responses were grouped according to the size of the buyers and categorized as either large or mid-market buyers.
