Claims 411 in 2023: Embracing the Future of Claims Processing
Over the past decade, the insurance industry has witnessed significant advancements in data and technology, transforming the way claims are handled. As we step into a new decade, let’s explore how the insurance claims process will continue to evolve, catering to the growing needs of consumers.
Revolutionizing Electronic Claim Payments
Gone are the days of waiting for checks to arrive in the mail. In today’s digital age, electronic claims have the power to move money within seconds. While this technology is still underutilized in our industry, we anticipate a shift towards its wide adoption. One noteworthy company leading the way in electronic payment solutions is Checkbook. Their innovative platform allows customers to make payments effortlessly through email or text. As this technology advances, we can expect to see a reduction in the traditional mailing of checks across the insurance industry.
A Bright Future with Integrated Real-Time Data
Imagine a scenario where a customer reports a property and casualty claim, and the insurer is equipped with real-time data to streamline the claims process. By utilizing integrated real-time data at key customer touchpoints, insurers can simplify claim reporting conversations and improve the overall customer experience. Furthermore, sophisticated insurers leverage this data to expedite claims triage and identify potential fraud instances. They also utilize integrated real-time data to efficiently process low-risk claims for vehicles with prior claims history. By incorporating police record data elements into their claims system, liability decisions can be automated. However, the opportunities for leveraging integrated real-time data don’t end there. In total loss claims, real-time title and lien payoff data can accelerate settlements and title processing, compressing the typical three-week timeframe into just a day or two.
