We understand the key challenges impacting claim outcomes

What is impacting claims outcomes?

Low NPS score

  1. Shortage of expertise due to resignations and retirement
  2. Service delivery issues and challenges in managing claims and scale
  3. Lack of proactive or timely communication related to claim status
  4. Elongated turnaround time on initial claim decisions
  5. Multiple customer touchpoints associated with claim intake

Increased admin cost

  1. Experienced technical claim professionals handling non-value-adding activities such as data entry
  2. Manual and error prone claims management process in areas such as claims intake
  3. High not-in-good-order (NIGO) rate due to incomplete or inaccurate documentation

Increased indemnity cost

  1. High volume of STD claims becoming LTD claims
  2. Higher than desirable liability acceptance rate (LAR)
