Benefits for All Stakeholders
The claims management ecosystem encompasses a variety of constituents, including customer service representatives, insurance claims adjusters and managers, insurance agents and brokers, claims partners (i.e. repair shops), insured parties, etc. Sirma Claims Management provides a solution for all constituents enabling fast and easy access to “single source of truth” claims information, claims activity plans and claim adjusting performance.
Claim Lifecycle Management
Sirma CLM supports the entire claim lifecycle from the initial claim report to the settlement and analysis. With this solution organizations can manage the activities of all claim involved constituents representing real-time information about stage, status and task responsibilities. This gives the insurers better visibility and high level of collaboration ensuring all activities are properly assigned and completed.
Claims/Damages Notification
First-notice-of-loss (FNOL) information, such as descriptions, nature of claim, parties and properties involved, nature of damages, can be captured with Sirma Claims Management. The information can be delivered by different communication channels like contact centers, customer web based self-service, standard forms or electronically from other legacy systems. Full claim information is collected in one logical business area called “claim dossier”, accessible for all stakeholders with the respective permissions.
Claims/Damage Distribution
Sirma CLM provides flexible tools for allocation and planning of the tasks and activities during the claims processing. Claims can be divided into sub categories as sub-claims, by coverage, claimants, injury or property type, and so on. Each of these claims or subclaims can be assigned to the appropriate adjusters, based on their knowledge and experience, geographic location or capacity. It also provides an opportunity a claim to be sent to a group of adjusters, and one of them should take a voluntary assignment.
Improvement of data interconnections
When FNOL information is entered into the system, it automatically generates a “claim dossier” with unique identifiers and respective properties. All necessary data is collected in the dossier in order proper adjustment and settlement to be completed. With the specific semantic functionalities of the solution it automatically connects on a pre-defined rule-based contextual logic all necessary business objects connected with the claim – claimant, adjuster, property, etc. If the organization is using other legacy systems, the application integrates with it and requests the information needed. This way Sirma Claims Management becomes single source of truth.
