• Broadspire (Crawford & Company): Workers' compensation managed care including case management, utilization review, and integrated medical services — competes with EK Health on national TPA and large-employer accounts.
• Mitchell International: Provider of workers' comp and auto casualty bill review, pharmacy, and managed care technology — overlaps most directly with EK Health's Billtelligent™ and Billnsight capabilities and competes for the same bill review RFPs.
