AI and Automation Revolutionize Claims Management for Fortune 500 Insurer
Overview.
The client, a leading Fortune 500 insurer in US catering to a diverse set of specialty, niche-market insurance products in property, casualty, extended device protection, and preneed insurance sectors, was overwhelmed by manual claims processing and errors. The client partnered with Coforge to implement AI and automation solutions that resulted in a 75% reduction in processing costs, 55% fewer paper claims, 65% increase in auto-adjudication, and a 40% rise in one-day claim payouts.
This Fortune 500 insurer faced a multitude of claims processing challenges:
High Manual Workload: Daily claims across various channels, with 35% of contact center calls related to claims, resulted in a high volume of manual processing.
Paper-Based Claims: A significant number of paper claims further slowed down processing times.
Error-Prone Adjudication: Manual processing led to a high rate of errors, including missed benefits, underpayments, and overpayments, resulting in fines and penalties.
Fraudulent Transactions: The manual system left room for fraudulent transactions.
These challenges combined to increase costs, slow down claims processing, and damage customer satisfaction.
