North American Risk Services (NARS), one of the country`s leading claims
management firms, announced today that it has launched VIIAD`s award winning
Health Ticket
PHILADELPHIA--(Business Wire)--
VIIAD`s Health Ticket is an on demand, web-based claim communication and PPO
compliance utility that goes beyond a traditional group health ID card and
transmits all the information relevant to a workers' compensation claim
transaction to the employee, employer, medical provider and claim payor.

"NARS serves a variety of employer markets including the transportation and law
enforcement industries. Highly mobile and geographically disbursed employees
need 'concierge' service in response to their work related injuries," said
Robert Ruryk, President and COO of NARS. "The Health Ticket is a perfect
technology for seamlessly guiding employees and providers throughout the care
process."

"Because the Health Ticket is totally personalized to the needs of the employee,
the healthcare experience is significantly improved. Deployment of the Health
Ticket was painless and immediately reduced costs and enhanced compliance."

"We are excited to add NARS to our client roster. NARS` service requirements
vary by employer, employee, jurisdiction and provider networks. The process of
properly directing care, controlling utilization, and maintaining compliance are
some of the industries greatest challenges," said April Stiles, COO of VIIAD.

"VIIAD`s real time Health Ticket presents information accurately and can be
transmitted to any point of care. Because the Health Ticket is internet based,
NARS deployed our solution in less than two months."
