Sedgwick targets US federal market with new business launch

Technology-driven risk solutions provider  Sedgwick has launched a new business, Sedgwick Government Solutions, to expand its footprint in the US federal market.

The new business builds on its existing presence in the public entity sector for more than five decades and its 2021 acquisition of Managed Care Advisors (MCA), a federal government contracting firm.

Since 2003, MCA has supported government agencies with oversight and administration of Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) programmes.

Sedgwick Government Solutions is focused on developing and implementing highly specialised health programmes, products and services tailored to the government sector.

"With new opportunities and expanded capabilities, Sedgwick Government Solutions experts are ready to provide services far beyond managed care — helping more people, restoring property, and enhancing the performance of the federal programs we serve," said Jim Ryan, Sedgwick chief operating officer. "The introduction of Sedgwick Government Solutions expands our reach by offering extensive resources to federal clients."

Lisa Firestone, president and CEO of Managed Care Advisors and president of Sedgwick Government Solutions, added: "We are pleased to expand the work we do in the federal space under Sedgwick Government Solutions, and we will continue to excel at what we built under the Managed Care Advisors brand to support our clients."
