This is a natural extension of our combined strategy to further expand the value we deliver to our clients across the property and casualty industry.”

Based in Downers Grove, IL, Coventry Workers' Comp Services has been a leading full-service managed care organization for more than 35 years. The company brings approximately 2,000 professionals with deep industry expertise, along with a broad suite of services—network, clinical and specialty—powered by technology to enhance network development, clinical integration and operational efficiencies with a focus on total claims cost. Following the closing of this acquisition, Coventry Workers' Comp will continue to be led by Art Lynch, President and CEO, and operate under its brand.

“We are very excited to join Mitchell | Genex and further meet the needs of our ever-changing industry,” said Lynch. “This is a forward-thinking partnership that combines one of the most robust PPO networks with an equally positioned firm in cost containment technology and clinical solutions. These capabilities, when combined with artificial intelligence and advanced analytics, will maximize our clients' performance today and into the future.”
