Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-led business solutions and services company, today announced an agreement to sell its Casualty Claims Solutions business to MedRisk, the nation’s largest managed care organization dedicated to the physical rehabilitation of workers’ compensation patients.

The sale, for $240 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments, consists of Conduent’s workers’ compensation and auto casualty bill review solutions and services that includes the processing of medical bills and clinical services, and its portfolio of Strataware bill review software products. In 2023, the business, with approximately 100 clients across multiple markets, processed approximately 29 million medical bills.

As part of this transaction, current Conduent employees in the Casualty Claims Solutions business will join MedRisk. Conduent will continue to provide mailroom services for current casualty claims clients including MedRisk. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

“This transaction is an additional example of the significant progress we have made in our strategy to streamline our portfolio while increasing our focus on core capabilities to fuel Conduent’s growth,” said Cliff Skelton, Conduent President and CEO. “MedRisk is well-established in the workers’ compensation industry, and we are confident in a seamless transition for our associates and clients.”
