Matrix will integrate these claims management and related services to deliver an expanded portfolio of risk management products with an emphasis on superior service delivery. Īn early leader in the outsourced absence management space, Matrix was founded in 1987 as a workers' compensation administrator in San Jose, California. Today Matrix integrates short- and long- term disability, workers' compensation, return-to-work services and personal/family and medical leave programs to help employers realize time, efficiency and productivity gains. 'We have grown to value their culture, expertise and consultative approach, and both organizations share a commitment to service excellence.' We have worked closely with Partners Claims Services' leadership and staff in servicing a segment of our workers' compensation and integrated disability clients,' said Ken Cope, president of Matrix.
