Robert R. Snashall, former chair of the New York State Workers' Compensation Board, recently presented a program for EM Risk Management clients on what they can expect from the 2007 Workers' Compensation Reform.

"Talk of benefit increases, caps on permanent-partial disability benefits and changes to award payment amounts and procedures can be confusing," said David Price, vice president, EM Risk Management. "That's why we provide our clients with access to presentations like these and other resources that can help them navigate through the nuances of Workers' Compensation Reform -- with the end result of providing them with efficient and cost-effective Workers' Compensation claims administration services."

EM Risk Management cost-saving offerings include:

* Directed Pharmacy Benefit Management Program

* Diagnostic Testing Network

* Litigation Coordinator
