Tina Preisig of PMA Companies Receives Workers’ Comp Award

Tina Preisig, Senior Vice President of Managed Care at PMA Companies, has been selected by the LexisNexis Workers’ Compensation Law Center as one of the Workers’ Compensation Notable People for 2009 (http://bit.ly/7DBtsL), an award that honors those who "have worked tirelessly on behalf of their clients and have made significant contributions this past year to the workers’ compensation system and/or the workplace.”

Ms. Preisig received an MBA from the Executive Program at Lake Forest Graduate School of Management in Illinois. A graduate of Northeastern Illinois University, Ms. Preisig is a Registered Nurse with 30 years of experience in the workers’ compensation medical arena. Since joining PMA Companies in May 2008, she has applied her experience and expertise to build tremendous efficacy into PMA’s Preferred Provider Network, Pharmacy Benefits Management, Medical Bill Review and Medical Case Management practices for PMA and its clients.

"I am very pleased that Tina was selected for this award. She brings extremely valuable experience and expertise to PMA and the industry overall," said John Santulli, Executive Vice President, PMA Companies. "Workers' compensation medical costs continue to be a challenge for our industry, and we are committed to continuing to bring value to our customers by maximizing our managed care programs and lowering claims costs while delivering quality services."

In 2009, Ms. Preisig and her team supported thousands of PMA commercial insurance and third-party administrator clients, by creating a streamlined vendor management program to further reduce clients’ claims costs and by helping to reduce overall pharmacy spending. In 2010, Ms. Preisig continues to innovate with Managed Care measures which should bring PMA clients even greater convenience, savings and tangible value to their workers’ compensation risk management programs.

The recipients of the 2009 awards were selected by various organizations and experts in the workers’ compensation field, including the Workers Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG), the National Workers’ Compensation Defense Network (NWCDN), the California Applicants’ Attorneys Association (CAAA), the Workers’ Compensation Forum on LinkedIn, and selected members of the Larson's National Workers' Compensation Advisory Board.
