ManageAbility

What ManageAbility does

ManageAbility, Inc. is a privately held medical management and claims cost-containment services firm headquartered in Novi, Michigan, and operating as an affiliate of the FDI Group (a third-generation, family-owned enterprise founded in 1970). Founded in 1988, the company delivers six core services: Medical Bill Review, Utilization Review, Case Management, OT Evaluation, Market Surveys, and Medical Cost Projections. Its underlying technology is a medical bill review platform with customized workflows, professional negotiation tooling, and access to multiple Preferred Provider Organization networks (including Ancillary Networks); clinical work is performed by credentialed registered nurses (e.g., a Director with 30 years of nursing experience) and tenured field case managers. Pricing is quote-based and customized per customer, typically under multi-year contracts.

ManageAbility serves four primary buyer segments: auto and workers' compensation insurance carriers, self-insured employers, third-party administrators, and self-insured group funds. The company distributes services through a direct, sales-led motion staffed by a Vice President of Sales and Account Executives across Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, supplemented by online referral submission forms and an inbound contact center. Field case management is concentrated in the Midwest (MI/OH/IN), while the Medical Bill Review program has been expanded nationally to insurance carriers across the United States. All sales and revenue mechanics are B2B professional services; the firm does not disclose revenue, customer logos, funding, or AI/ML capabilities in the available data.

Strategically, ManageAbility operates within the broader FDI Group ecosystem of nine affiliates (including CompOne Administrators, AbsencePlus, MAI IME, Rizikon, and StarTech), sharing executive leadership, IT, finance, people operations, and risk management functions under family ownership led by Chairman & CEO Mark Churella, Sr. and Co-President Ryan Churella.
