Electronic Claims
Objectives
To implement the electronic infrastructure
for the London market to negotiate, settle,
and record claims quickly and efficiently
and to achieve a critical mass of live
usage.
3
Electronic Claim Files
- a Critical Requirement
Electronic Claims
Enable parallel presentation to insurers
Reduce overall transaction time
Improve transparency of process
Underwriters can control their own work load.
Allow brokers to concentrate on those claims
where value is added
Claim file always available to insurers
Fundamental pre-cursor to the LMP objective
of streamlined claims agreement
4
Electronic Claims
Repositories
Multiple repositories in the London market
- Brokers and carriers have their own
- Carriers shouldn’t have to learn different
brokers’ repository dialects
Insurer’s Market Repository
- to hold electronic claim files for carriers.
- International ACORD Document Repository
Interoperability (DRI) standard to exchange
documents
- CLASS will manage the claims transactions.
