ADP Claims Services Group and eAutoclaims Announce Joint Marketing
Agreement ADP to Offer a New Managed Repair Service for Insurance
Carriers OLDSMAR, Fla., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
eAutoclaims, a provider of claims management services, and ADP
Claims Services Group, a leading provider of integrated business
solutions for the property and casualty, collision repair and
automotive recycling industries, announced today an agreement
offering insurance carriers a new service to more efficiently and
effectively administer their managed repair programs. Under the
terms of the agreement ADP will offer a new solution, ADP Managed
Repair Service, powered by eAutoclaims. It will differ from other
managed repair solutions in the industry. This service will allow
insurance companies to benefit from web-enabled, streamlined,
electronic assignments and dispatch within a fully managed repair
network of more than 2,600 qualified collision repair shops and
independent appraisers. Such electronic assignment and claims
handling eliminates the time-consuming traditional claim process of
phone calls, faxes and emails. Insurance companies will benefit
from estimate review services to ensure adherence to industry
guidelines. They will also benefit from services that track and
coordinate other aspects of the claims process at a lower cost,
while helping to manage the overall repair quality. "ADP Managed
Repair Service is another example of our commitment to providing
clients with value added, end-to-end claims management solutions,"
said Jose Rivero, ADP Claims Services Group senior vice president.
"Our arrangement with eAutoclaims, and their leading service,
allows us to expand the depth and breadth of ADP's services for
insurance managed repairprograms. ADP Managed Repair Service will
streamline an insurance company's claims processes, lower
administrative expenses and help increase overall client
satisfaction." "With ADP's strength and industry leadership,
eAutoclaims can expand its presence and provide more insurance
companies with the management service efficiencies and repair
network savings they need," said Eric Seidel, eAutoclaims chief
executive officer. "The eAutoclaims national contracted repair
network is made up of some of the finest repair facilities in the
nation. This partnership means more contracted repairs through the
ADP Managed Repair Service for those partner shops." The agreement
contemplates that certain ADP-directed enhancements will be made to
the current service offerings of eAutoclaims, and is terminable by
ADP if certain conditions are not satisfied within 45 days after
its effective date and thereafter. For information on joining the
eAutoclaims network, collision repair facilities and independent
