Business Issue:

Insurance carrier sought to improve their claims department’s efficiency to reduce the average claim cycle, reduce the number of claims per adjuster, and improve overall customer service.

Actions:

  • Conducted a process analysis of the claims department from claims reporting to file close focusing on improving department efficiency
  • Applied principles of specialization to the claims group so the claims adjusters could develop and focus on specialties and core competencies
  • Segregated the time intensive processes that distracted claims adjusters from their core competencies and created a dedicated unit to handle those specialty functions
  • Identified and implemented need technology that allowed adjusters to perform their tasks more quickly and efficiently

Results

  • 33% reduction in open claims per adjuster
  • Significantly shorter average claim cycles
  • Increased claims capacity by 20% without adding additional personnel
  • Improved customer satisfaction
