Berkley Medical Management Solutions (BMMS) provides a different kind of managed-care service for W.R. Berkley Corporation. We believe focusing on an injured worker’s successful and speedy return to work is good for people and good for Berkley’s insurance operating units. BMMS was first started in 2014 by reimagining the relationship between medical need and technology to deliver the best outcome for injured workers and Berkley’s operating units. Our goal was clear: combine solid clinical practices, proven return-to-work strategies and robust software into one system for seamless management of workers’ compensation cases. To get it right, we started with a flexible technology platform that allowed for impressive customization without sacrificing the ability for expansion and continued innovation. We deploy integrated systems to give W.R. Berkley Companies recommendations and professional services for managing each individual case in an efficient and appropriate manner. The power of our technology takes medical bill-review services and clinical advisory services to a new level. Our unique marriage of technology, software platforms, data analytics and professional services ensures we provide Berkley’s operating units with reliable results, and reduced time and expenses associated with case management.
