Chubb TPA unit launches health care industry practice

ESIS Inc., Chubb’s Ltd.’s third-party administrator division, has launched a new practice to serve the claims and risk management needs of health care organizations and life sciences firms.

Chicago-based Sam Terzich, ESIS senior vice president, will lead the health care industry practice, Philadelphia-based ESIS said Tuesday in a statement.

The practice will provide claims management services by ESIS ProClaim to self-insured organizations, risk retention groups, other alternative markets and insurers. This includes health care professional liability claims management, litigation management, medical record reviews, investigations, clinical risk management consultation and National Practitioners Data Bank reporting, according to the statement.

“ESIS has long provided health care and life sciences clients with state-of-the-art risk management services,” Joe Vasquez, ESIS division president, said in the statement. “The creation of our new health care industry practice, as well as its alignment with Chubb’s own practice in this area, will enable us to provide these clients with an even more powerful and broader service offering.”
