虽然每个承运人的确切工作流程和索赔处理技术是不同的, most claim professionals across the third party liability industry operate with the same goals in mind—settle claims accurately, 高效和一致. But sometimes, the complexity of third party claim processing can cloud these seemingly simple objectives.

通过使用数据组合, technology and expertise—and putting a special focus on the foundations of third party claims processing—third party carriers can overcome a myriad of barriers that can make it challenging to achieve their goals. 那么,如何确定您的程序是否准备成功呢? In addition, 如果您正在寻找新的技术或服务合作伙伴, 你怎么能确定它是合适的? Below, Mitchell has created a guide based on our work with high-performing claim organizations that go beyond the fundamentals and highlights what we believe to be the most important characteristics your third-party claim program should embody in order to excel.

Processes & 程序层次的特点

可用于索赔处理的工具并不缺乏. While it may be tempting to provide adjusters with the largest possible set of tools at their disposal and leave them to process claims their way, the top-performing third party carriers take the time to focus on setting up their foundations in a way that allows adjusters to work smarter. 在程序层面上, 这意味着致力于开发和遵循流程, and collecting and evaluating data to learn how they can continuously improve their workflow and overall programs. By establishing best practices and connecting those management goals to adjuster day-to-day activities, 运营商可以开发一致的, 准确和高效的索赔处理流程, 为短期和长期的成功做好准备. Here’s a checklist of the program-level characteristics every third party carrier should strive for:

  • 承诺建立并遵循一套最佳实践.
  • Dedication to a data-driven approach to evaluating performance and continuous improvement.
  • Focus on establishing the foundations of third party claim processing so that adjusters realize maximum benefit from new tools and technologies.

损伤评估

In order to make sure your organization thoroughly evaluates claims consistently and accurately, the injury evaluation stage should not only be comprehensive but also fully integrated with all data streams for the claim, 包括调查和需求包审查. Here’s how we believe your company can achieve optimal injury evaluations across the board:

  1. 明确基于公司最佳实践的工伤评估标准.
  2. A services partner that has extensive bill review and third party experience that is backed by industry-leading technology to not only manage documents but also manage your bill review process.

Negotiation

在谈判阶段, 承运人应专注于为理算员提供清晰的信息, 容易解释的事实, so they are fully prepared with all of the information they need to negotiate with attorneys or claimants. We recommend that carriers understand and incorporate the following items that may help improve the negotiation process:

  1. A negotiation module that includes fact-based information using artifacts from the entire evaluation, 包括负债比例、特殊和一般金额.
  2. The tools to help adjusters develop a clearly documented strategy with a clear line of sight back to key points documented during liability and injury evaluations.
