CorVel Announces Record Earnings per Share

IRVINE, California, August 8, 2007 - CorVel Corporation (NASDAQ: CRVL) reported earnings per share of $0.39 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, up 20% from earnings per share of $0.33 for the same quarter of the prior year. Net income for the quarter was $5.6 million compared to $4.6 million for the prior year's June quarter. June quarter revenues were $74.3 million, compared to $69.8 million in the June quarter of 2006. Results in the quarter reflect the expansion of CorVel's Enterprise Comp and Network Solutions services, partially offset by reduced results in Case Management services.

The expansion of CorVel's line of claims management services is continuing on schedule. The acquisition of Schaffer Companies in May brought the coverage for such services to 34 states. This expansion has thus far been conducted using the cashflow from existing operations. The two acquisitions completed this year have brought new management and systems into the Company, positioning CorVel to further expand the markets addressed by its services.

The Company has expanded the pace of its investment in medical review software and service capabilities. The smart routing of work is being steadily expanded to further tailor medical review to the unique needs of each state, care type and patient setting. Expansions have also been achieved in the depth of CorVel's preferred provider networks and also its directed care networks. The Company plans to extend workflow management technologies used in medical review to its patient management services.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter CorVel announced plans to provide clearinghouse capabilities for the workers compensation marketplace. Several states have shown an interest in the use of clearinghouses to extend the automation of healthcare claims submissions. The Company has developed a number of the tools required for clearinghouse operations in its medical review expansions, and will now apply these capabilities to facilitate the automation of provider reimbursement processes.
