Automate Claims Processing

What Automated Claims Processing Covers?

The use of AI and intelligent document processing (IDP) to handle the document-intensive tasks across the insurance claims lifecycle, from first notice of loss through settlement, with minimal manual intervention.

Claims workflows involve high volumes of diverse, unstructured documents, including:

  • FNOL forms
  • Police reports
  • Medical records
  • Repair estimates
  • ACORD forms
  • Explanation of benefits (EOB) statements

How the process works

Automated claims processing handles each stage of the claim's lifecycle through a connected sequence of steps:

  • Document capture: ingests documents from multiple intake channels.
  • Document Classification: identifies and sorts each document by type.
  • Data extraction: pulls relevant data fields from each document.
  • Validation: checks extracted information against policy records and business rules.
  • Fraud detection: identifies anomalies that may indicate fraudulent activity.
  • Routing: directs cases to settlement or escalation based on outcomes.

Primary business outcomes

Organizations that implement automated claims processing can expect measurable improvements across four key areas:

  • Faster claims cycle times
  • Lower cost per claim
  • Improved fraud detection rates
  • Higher straight-through processing (STP) rates for routine claims
