MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc. (Sedgwick CMS) has been voted Best Third-Party Claims Administrator (TPA) in a national survey of risk professionals. The polling was conducted by Business Insurance, the leading weekly newsmagazine for executives and other professionals responsible for purchasing or providing insurance, risk management, employee benefits and related services for businesses and institutions. Business Insurance subscribers were asked to consider service, value, quality and innovation in their selection of the top TPA.
“Business Insurance launched its first Readers Choice Awards this year to give our readers an opportunity to identify the companies they believe are the industry’s very best,” said Regis J.

Our congratulations to Sedgwick CMS, the inaugural winner as best TPA.”
“We are extremely gratified to receive the 2005 Readers Choice Award for Best Third-Party Claims Administrator,” said David A. North, president and chief executive officer of Sedgwick CMS. “This recognition comes from the broad community of risk and benefits professionals. The readership of Business Insurance includes our clients and their peers at other businesses and institutions, other providers in all fields of risk finance and risk and benefits services, industry consultants and other specialists. We value tremendously their informed opinion that Sedgwick CMS is the best TPA overall.
“It takes both great colleagues and great clients to build a great company,” said North. “I would like to thank the readers of Business Insurance for selecting Sedgwick CMS for this award; the editors of Business Insurance for sponsoring this recognition program for our industry; and especially our clients and colleagues, whose ongoing collaboration is continually raising the bar for claims and productivity management solutions at Sedgwick CMS.”
