How does Five Sigma help P&C insurance companies manage claims efficiently and reliably?
P&C insurance companies depend heavily on effective claims management to drive their profitability. By handling and resolving claims accurately and reliably, a claims adjuster can help prevent their employer’s incurred losses from becoming excessively expensive due to overpayment. At the same time, a claims adjuster who handles and resolves claims quickly and efficiently will achieve high productivity, thus helping their employer keep loss adjustment expenses at a reasonable level.
Traditionally, becoming an excellent claims adjuster was a time-consuming process, requiring significant professional experience and expertise. Today, however, using data-driven claims intelligence effectively can help even relatively inexperienced adjusters to perform like their most successful colleagues.
