Board approves renewal of Riskmaster claims system contract for county use

Tammy Culley, speaking on behalf of Risk Management, recommended that the Board of Bids and Contracts accept a quote from Computer Sciences Corporation to continue using the county's Riskmaster (Assure Claims) claims-records system for the period April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029. "Riskmaster is used to track the financial expenditures per claim, which allows the county to then extract that information for internal uses and for required reporting to the state of Kansas and the county's insurance carriers," Culley said.

County staff said the system has been in use since 2009 and is used to manage open claims and maintain historical records. A staff member identified as Elizabeth noted the vendor has changed names and that the product is hosted in the cloud: "Technically, the software is called Assure claims that we use, but it's historically been called Riskmaster," she said, adding the cloud deployment helps keep claims processes running if the county network is interrupted. The board moved, seconded and approved the recommendation; the clerk recorded five ayes and the motion carried.
