What we do

Sedgwick’s network management team continually evaluates the industry for the best providers and network opportunities for our clients. We recognize that treatment with a quality provider can improve the outcome of a claim, and networks often bring a high level of provider credentialing and validation.

We coordinate care for injured employees through our PPO, state and ancillary care networks.

PPO

Our preferred provider organization (PPO) network serves a pivotal role in helping our clients return injured employees back to health and productivity while minimizing costs. Our network includes more than 900,000 providers spanning various locations and specialties nationwide. We work to maintain and enhance our PPO network through key strategies including direct contracts with providers and facilities, as well as partnerships with specialty and broad-based affiliate provider networks. Our team is committed to continually refining and expanding our network to ensure superior coverage and savings for our clients.

Sedgwick’s five-star provider benchmarking program helps us build superior networks to ensure quality care for injured employees and drive positive results for clients. When possible, injured employees are matched with local providers with the highest scores.

State networks

We manage several certified state networks. Our team works closely with clients to evaluate their needs before making a recommendation. Our dedicated managed care experts coordinate with the state networks and provide oversight, and our network team delivers exceptional customer service and compliance support for clients.

Ancillary care network

Our dedicated care coordinators offer concierge-level support and connect employees with best-in-class services to help them on the road to recovery. Our networks include more than 40,000 providers and we offer a 48-hour scheduling guarantee for all services, as well as same day or next day service for urgent requests.
