Review

2007 Annual Report and Form 10K

The Year in 
Review

Some years are more exciting than others and certainly fiscal 2007 
was one of those exciting years. CorVel achieved record savings for 
customers, expanded claims management solutions, launched a new case 
management system and had record earnings per share. We are carrying 
this momentum into the New Year and have an attractive backlog of 
additional projects.

Workers’ compensation claims have declined substantially over the last 
five years. This has lead to a consolidation within our industry. Coupled 
with ongoing regulatory change, the environment has required CorVel 
to be nimble and to constantly seek new solutions for our customers. 
The Company’s long term strategy of investment in information systems 
and local customer service has positioned CorVel to succeed where a 
number of its competitors have failed or have been assimilated into larger 
organizations. We expect the pace of change to remain high in the current 
year.

For a number of years we returned excess cash inflows to shareholders 
through our stock repurchase program. In recent months, though, the 
Company has again been investing capital in the execution of our strategy 
to further expand our service offerings. These additions to the Company 
broaden our range of claims management services and open segments of 
the market previously closed to us.

Integrating the separate information streams in an episode of care offers 
the vision of timely healthcare decisions and shared knowledge. Disability 
management includes the separate interests of injured workers, the 
medical community, medical professionals and claims administration. 
Inevitably, the complexity of healthcare involves a great deal of information 
and regulatory compliance. CorVel’s CareMC web portal, in continuous 
development since 1999, is the foundation for a new solution in healthcare 
administration. CareMC’s workflow management software increasingly brings 
new productivity and improved outcomes. Similar capabilities first added to 
CorVel’s medical review systems produced much improved outcomes for our 
customers and improved Company results.

Technological developments which had been progressively implemented 
over the prior five years, came together in the last twelve months. While 
the most significant change year-to-year may have occurred in 2007, the 
Company is well positioned in the next generation of workflow management 
and faces opportunities to continue advancing its service capabilities. 

Insight. In Touch.

Healthcare Management

Network Solutions

CorVel Corporation is a national provider 
of healthcare management solutions to 
employers, third party administrators, 
insurance companies and government 
agencies. CorVel specializes in 
applying advanced communication 
and information technology to improve 
healthcare management in the workers’ 
compensation, group health and 
auto insurance markets. From early 
intervention through claim resolution,  
our solutions offer comprehensive 
programs for our customers.

CorVel offers proactive medical savings 
solution for all medical bills, including a 
preferred provider organization, network 
management, repricing, line-item review, 
expert fee negotiations, professional 
review, automated adjudication and 
electronic  reimbursement. Each feature of 
Network Solutions focuses on maximizing 
savings opportunities and increasing 
efficiencies for our customers.

Enterprise Comp

CorVel has combined traditional claims 
management and managed care practices 
with rules-based technology to create 
a completely integrated solution. By 
combining medical management delivery 
with the claims management process, our 
clients receive an unprecedented level of 
efficiency that translates to lower claims 
costs and reduced claims administration 
expenses.

Patient Management

CorVel’s patient management solutions 
are designed to combine quality care 
with new technologies to offer the most 
comprehensive capabilities for patients. 
We offer early intervention, utilization 
management and vocational rehabilitation 
through local branch offices and case 
managers in local communities. Our case 
managers work side by side with patients 
to assist them though their episode of care 
and return to work.

Portfolio Analytics

Knowledge Based Outcomes

CorVel’s portfolio analytics solutions 
facilitate detailed healthcare data 
analysis, reporting and benchmarking, 
allowing decision makers to identify 
and understand trends in real time and 
institute corrective actions. We provide 
sophisticated performance and customer 
interaction analytics to proactively assess 
risk and assist our customers in reducing 
program costs.

CorVel has captured over 20 years of 
healthcare management experience 
to develop and organize the structure, 
processing and delivery of information. 
CorVel’s automated workflow and protocol- 
based smart routing to centers of 
excellence has created a technology 
platform that is producing superior 
results for customers. New information 
management tools are continually being 
added to our solutions, further expanding 
the Company’s capabilities to deliver 
improved, knowledge based outcomes.

Healthcare Portal

CorVel’s healthcare management portal, 
caremc.com, offers industry leading 
information management tools to help 
consolidate and coordinate healthcare 
and claims management activities. CareMC 
is the platform for all of CorVel services, 
offering our customers immediate, real 
time access to important information 
necessary to achieve superior program 
results.

Smart routing and workflow management processes now allow medical 
review to be performed by people specialized in each step of a larger 
process. Where one person often performed all of the separate tasks in a 
service, now each task segment is assigned to different person specializing 
in that function. Healthcare administration can now be routed based upon 
the unique needs of each episode of care. 

Most sectors of the healthcare system in our Country have been pressured 
by increasing volumes of uninsured patients. Resolving who should pay 
for the needs of patients in the US system is a pressing national issue. 
CorVel’s medical review systems automate increasing portions of the 
healthcare financing process. We expect continued regulatory pressure for 
the private sector to improve the administration of healthcare, and believe 
CorVel possesses the important tools required. Reimbursing healthcare 
transactions electronically is one part of the solution. Additionally, the initial 
phases of each episode of care can be restructured to ease patient access 
and to facilitate improved outcomes.

The complexities in healthcare have made the analysis of outcomes and 
processes complex. CorVel has been expanding its investment in analytic 
services and their presentation within CareMC. Toward the end of fiscal 2007 
the Company began presenting such analyses in an improved dashboard 
within CareMC. This effort will be expanded in the current year. Measuring 
outcomes is critical to the effort to identify the most effective providers 
and prescriptions for care. Developing and reporting meaningful outcomes 
metrics and the related predictive modeling algorithms are the keys to 
achieving improved healthcare administration.

We would like to thank our customers and associates for another year of 
productive partnership. We are excited by the prospects for our future and 
committed to the ongoing investments necessary to ongoing innovation. 
The early results of our refined strategic direction have been encouraging 
and we look forward to the challenges of the coming year.
