CorVel Announces Revenues and Earnings

IRVINE, California, February 3, 2009 — CorVel Corporation (NASDAQ: CRVL) reported earnings per share of $0.34 for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, compared to $0.43 in the same quarter of the prior year. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 earnings were $1.09 per share compared to the same period in the prior year of $1.22 per share.

The Company reported quarterly revenues of $77.0 million, up from prior year’s quarterly revenue of $76.7 million. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, revenues were $233 million, representing a 3.4% increase from the $225 million in revenues achieved in the same period of the prior year.

During the quarter the Company announced plans to provide agent services under the new Medicare legislation requiring expanded reporting for insurers, third party administrators and employers. The Company currently provides Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) services for workers’ compensation and general liability customers throughout the country, and is expanding that service offering to include communications soon to be mandated under the legislation covering Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) requirements.

CorVel currently conducts electronic interfaces with various government entities as well as between itself and other private sector payors. In addition, the Company offers clearinghouse services providing electronic communications with healthcare providers and plans to expand these activities to include communications with CMS. Such activities reflect the growing volume of electronic activity in healthcare records processing and leverage the Company’s longstanding investment in related information processing facilities and software.

The Company continued to expand its Enterprise Comp^® claims management initiative as well as its line of directed care network services. New software releases will add workflow capabilities that will enable both efficiency and scalability in both product lines.
