CHALLENGE

A global insurance company was receiving 40-50 claims a day which needed to be evaluated and verified according to several factors before being approved for payment. Most of the claims were arriving as unstructured data, either as PDFs or scanned documents, making it difficult to pull information from them to be entered into various systems – in a timely manner. As a result, claims weren’t being processed fast enough. The company was concluding each year with millions of dollars in claims left open, impacting customer service.

SOLUTION

The company implemented RPA with ABBYY Flexicapture to streamline claims processing and payments. The software Robots took scanned claims sent through email and ran them through Flexicapture to turn the unstructured data into structured formats readable by robots. From there, the robots took the data, verified that all the information was correct and checked all exceptions. Claims that were accurate were approved for payment and sent back to the brokers. If any information was incorrect or there were exceptions, the claims were routed to an employee for further investigation.
