Overview

Cannon Cochran Management Services, Inc. (CCMSI) is one of the nation's largest independent third-party administrators (TPAs) specializing in self-insured property and casualty claims management. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Danville, Illinois, CCMSI is 100% employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) implemented in 1990 -- a structure that distinguishes it from competitors owned by insurance carriers, private equity, or external investors.

CCMSI operates 34 offices nationwide with over 1,400 professionals, serving self-insured employers, risk pools, and governmental entities across sectors including healthcare, manufacturing, construction, gaming and hospitality, higher education, retail, and transportation. The company maintains a 98% client retention rate over more than 40 years of operation, reflecting deep client relationships built on customized service and dedicated claim teams.

The company provides end-to-end claims administration for workers' compensation, general liability, commercial auto, and property claims, complemented by managed care services, integrated loss control programs, and technology-enabled analytics and reporting. CCMSI's independence from carriers and brokers positions it as a neutral administrator focused solely on client outcomes.
