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.
