Key To Success: Decisions First
▶ It doesn’t matter how efficient your process is…
▶ If you pay the wrong claims
▶ Straight Through Processing depends on your
Claims Handling decision
▶ Which claims to approve
▶ Which claims to decline
▶ When to investigate
▶ Who to assign claims to
▶ To succeed, think first about the decision
▶ Not the process

A Great Claims Handling Solution

Three Claims Cost Drivers
The three big drivers of cost in claims handling are:
Jet or straight through processing rate. The more claims you handle automatically, the lower the cost
How long it takes to handle the rest of the claims and how expensive a person it requires
How much wastage and outright fraud you end up paying for

Claims Handling Drives
Customer Satisfaction
Claims are one of the most important elements in determining customer satisfaction
Customers really want you to pay their claims and pay them quickly – they need the money
More auto payment, less time to pay, fewer problems, better explanations – all increase satisfaction

Claims Handling Decision Model
Clear Understanding, Business Ownership
A decision model shows all the elements of the
claims handling decision and how they interact
It is based on the real experience of your
claims adjustors, combined with your policies,
regulatory environment and best practices
A simple notation allows it to be “owned” by
your claims team and the use of an industry
standard (DMN) future-proofs it

13. @jamet123 #decisionmgt © 2017 Decision Management Solutions 13
Claims Handling Business Rules
Easy Management
Simple representations of the logic for each
piece of the decision make it easy for
business experts to make changes
The decision model makes it easy for them to
find the logic they need to change without
having to learn a new repository structure.

14. @jamet123 #decisionmgt © 2017 Decision Management Solutions 14
Claims Handling Business Rules
Safe Agility and Impact Analysis
Before making any change, business owners can easily simulate the impact
of their changes and make sure they are clear on the context of the
change.
The decision model shows what needs to be simulated and easy access to
simulation reduces errors and gives business owners the confidence to
make the changes they need.
Changes can be identified, proposed, simulated and confirmed rapidly so
the claims handling decision never falls behind regulators or fraudsters

15. @jamet123 #decisionmgt © 2017 Decision Management Solutions 15
Advanced Analytics In Claims Handling
Advanced analytics that predict fraud or
wastage can be combined with explicit
red-flag rules and leverage data, machine
learning and even AI to improve the
accuracy of your decisions. Detect more
fraud, spot more wastage while keeping
business control of the overall decision.

16. @jamet123 #decisionmgt © 2017 Decision Management Solutions 16
Continuous Claims Handling Improvement
The structure of the decision model shows exactly what
data is needed to review the effectiveness of the
decision and see how it might be improved. Capturing
this data allows for decision-centric dashboards to
support continuous improvement by the business

17. @jamet123 #decisionmgt © 2017 Decision Management Solutions 17
Consistent Agile Claims Handling
Deploying the whole package of
decision model, business rules
and analytics as a decision
service, a service that just
makes claims handling
decisions, allows all your claims
processing systems and
processes to share accurate,
