ROSEMONT, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 17, 2003

CorSolutions Inc., the nation's leading provider of complete health intelligence and solutions, has announced a multi-year agreement with Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines, the world's second largest airline in terms of passengers carried. Through this contract, CorSolutions will provide disease management services to over 130,000 eligible Delta employees and their dependents.

Diabetes, coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure present a significant challenge to Delta employees and represent over $80 million per year in the airline's medical plan costs. The company is taking steps to address these health care cost and related productivity concerns by providing disease management programs to improve employee welfare. The airline joins nearly 1,000 other major employers who, according to industry surveys, are currently providing or planning to provide employees and their dependents with condition management and health improvement programs. Delta's care management strategy is aimed at providing people with the tools they need to make informed health care decisions.

"CorSolutions, with its comprehensive, flexible and integrated programs, will help us proactively empower our employees and their dependents to take control of their health care," said Miles Snowden, MD, director, health services at Delta Air Lines. "We're focusing on when to access care, how to identify quality health care services and what approaches are the most effective ways to manage medical conditions and maintain healthy lifestyles."

CorSolutions' partnership with Delta further supports its commitment to decreasing health care costs for its employer, health plan provider and government clients and improving the quality of life of its customers. "An effective investment in the health of a company's human capital demonstrates both productivity improvements and reductions in health care costs," said Richard Vance, president and CEO of CorSolutions. "By putting to work our proven strategies to address a broad range of health conditions, CorSolutions will help Delta improve the well-being of its most valuable asset - its employees."
