CorVel Corporation, a provider of risk management services, announced the launch of CorVel University, a national training initiative designed to equip employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel as claims specialists in various jurisdictions.

Each session will last four weeks. Classes will be taught by experienced CorVel executives and specialists in a combination of in-person and remote sessions. The curriculum will include:

• An in-depth examination of workers compensation claims administration, including regulatory and jurisdictional compliance, types of claims, the life cycle of a claim, special handling and performance standards for claims management.
• All aspects of CorVel products and services, including how integration produces more accurate processing and outcomes and how the various teams collaborate to deliver a holistic claims management approach.
• The principles and practices that are unique to the CorVel culture.

By the end of the program, candidates will have a thorough knowledge of workers compensation claims management, mastery of its approach to claims management, and an understanding of the company culture. Graduates will be integrated into claim operations and developed into claim specialists with local mentors.

“We are in a new era in claims management: automating many previously manual processes, bringing in artificial intelligence and machine learning to make better, faster decisions, and enabling claims staff to focus on serving the needs of the injured workers,” said Jeff Gurtcheff, vice president, Enterprise Comp Solutions, CorVel. “Through this structured and rigorous training program, CorVel is demonstrating our commitment to providing a skilled and competent workforce that can deliver exceptional services to our clients while fostering employee retention and professional growth.”
