What ESIS does

ESIS, founded in 1953 and headquartered in Philadelphia, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chubb (NYSE: CB) operating as a third-party administrator (TPA) of claims and risk management services for commercial clients. The company serves Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 enterprises across all 50 US states, Canadian provinces, and 80+ countries globally through Chubb's distribution network. ESIS administers workers compensation, general and product liability, commercial auto, professional liability (via ESIS ProClaim), property, accident and health, and integrated absence management (FMLA, ADA, STD) claims, alongside specialized programs in pharmacy benefit management, medical bill review, special investigations, subrogation recovery, and litigation management. Its customer base spans five dedicated industry practices — Construction, Healthcare, Real Estate and Hospitality, Staffing/PEO, and Transportation — and the firm reports average client tenure exceeding 9 years and approval status with more than 30 insurance carriers.

The company's technology stack is anchored by Global RiskAdvantage (GRA), a Risk Management Information System with customizable dashboards; MyView, a 24/7 client portal; ESIS Digital Workbench, which integrates the ECOS claims operating system, EASE account service platform, predictive modeling, and EDI/state reporting; ESIS Intelligence, a 2024-launched platform combining automation with human adjuster expertise; ESIS On Call mobile event-notification app; ESIS ExPO outcomes-based provider selection tool; and ESIS CatAdvantage for catastrophe claim management. The organization has more than 1,700 associates organized around regional sales teams, dedicated industry practice leaders, and partnership services. Revenue is generated primarily through managed services fees charged to self-insureds, insurance carriers, captives, reinsurers, MGAs, and risk retention groups, with custom per-client pricing on multi-year contracts. Recent strategic emphasis is on technology-led claims operations, evidenced by the 2024 ESIS Intelligence launch, 2024 MyView upgrade, and February 2026 leadership transition to Brent MacLean (former CompIQ Solutions CEO) and Scott Henck (Chief Actuary).
