Electronic Claims
Implementation
Market Reform
– ECF went live over the weekend of 9th / 10th September
– 111 Partnerships operational (across Lloyds and IUA)
– Volumes (over 2000 total transactions processed)
– + IUA pilot started includes Global Aerospace, Liberty, Markel,
Munich Re, Swiss Re, XL, Zurich, Score, Faraday (till Dec 2006)
• Project Approach
– Big bang hasn’t worked in the past
– Partnerships decide to sign up when ready
– Early implementers – lessons learnt
– BEFIT and ECPG working closely with BP&CM to ensure
project success
Page 9
ECF Live Project Scope
•
Electronic Claims
Partnerships
– Firms decide partnerships by class of business / trading relationships
Market Reform
– With Lloyd’s and IUA carriers and XCS
– MRPO is monitoring progress
•
New claims and their subsequent transactions
– Existing paper based claims (legacy) to be tackled later
•
System Processes and Procedures (SP&P)
– Some areas are currently excluded from scope
– February CR’s will address some of these e.g. Binders; Direct
Reporting
– See SP&P for full list of areas in scope
•
Base camp
– Remember Phase 5 was always meant to be ‘base camp’
– Further improvements will be made

Current High Priority Issue
Electronic Claims
Market Reform
• Contractual Framework
– Needs to be signed up by all participants (ECF and A&S) who wish
to use the Repository from day one (brokers and managing
agents).
– Framework made up of Repository Rules and Xchanging side letter
to sign. It is legally binding.
– Repository Rules cover important topics, such as:–
–
–
–
–
License to use and access documents
Unintentional disclosure
Authentication of users
Governance
Law and Jurisdiction
– Pack to be sent out later once all details are finalised - real drive to
get all committed parties to sign up to side letter and rules………
Page 12
Other Immediate Next Steps
Electronic Claims
• Repository Rules to be agreed and distributed to firms
Market Reform
• November Release to fix faults (minor) found in Phase 5 MAT.
• Continue to ramp up on and support new Live partnerships
• Expected delivery of signed-off Phase 6 Business Design into
MAT early Q1 2007.
• Current live implementations aimed for end Feb – beginning
March 2007.
• Things change and we won’t have thought of everything
• There will be more issues and enhancements
Page 13
Claims Infrastructure Strategy
Electronic Claims
What will the claims infrastructure in the London Market look like in 5 years?
– ECIS Group formed included representation from Brokers; LMA & IUA
Market Reform
– Met between March and June 2006 and drafted the ‘Green Paper’
Page 14
– Green Paper provides a high level end vision (3-5 yrs) for the claims infrastructure in
the London Market
– Peer to Peer ACORD messaging will be the norm
•
ECIS Subgroup formed to discuss the end vision in more detail (July to October)
•
This subgroup drafted A&S Claims Process Flows document (Peer to Peer claims
messages)
•
Describes when the different types of ACORD claim messages will be sent /received
•
Highlights the implementation issues to be addressed e.g Transition/Legacy
•
More detailed work will be required by the early implementers of the end vision
Electronic Claims
Market Reform
Update on A&S Repository
Page 15
Context - Restatement of overall A&S ObjectivesElectronic Claims
• Rationalise and streamline business processes, specifically:
Market Reform
– Speed up premium and claims payment
– Remove reliance on paper
– Reduce errors and reconciliation by capturing richer data
once
– Enable back office rationalisation
– Introduce flexibility - process the way the business requires
rather than the business being driven by constraints
• Implement international standards for the communication
and processing of accounting & settlement data (the ACORD
XML RLC standards)
• Provide a firm base for the future
Page 16
Repository
Electronic Claims
• Broker loads slip, LPANs and supporting documentation to
Market Reform
repository thereby removing paper (and vans)
Page 17
– Three methods:
– Direct Load
– Email
– DRI Message
• Carriers can gain access and view and download
documents
• DRI enabled repository that also enables direct loading and
enquiries to:
– deliver documents to Xchanging Ins-Sure Services for
checking
– deliver documents directly between brokers and carriers i.e.
in support of non-bureau or P2P processes
Repository
Benefits and Implications
Electronic Claims
• Faster turnaround times for documentation since “van
Market Reform
time” is eliminated.
• No “van time” and speedier query resolution means signed
lines available quicker
• Speedier resolution of queries will reduce the volume of
rejections
• DRI functionality consistent with ECF.
Brokers have
options on how to connect, DRI Push, DRI Pull or Direct
load (or additionally email for delivery to Xchanging for
checking)
• Gives insurers access to a copy of the slip and other
premium submission documentation in the repository
• Carriers can be notified as a slip is loaded on the repository
Page 18
thereby allowing signed lines to be communicated sooner,
thus allowing speedier exposure management

Timescales
Electronic Claims
• Project documentation signed off – on target by end of April
Market Reform
2006
• Build time - this is being delivered in three releases
• Release 1 – Direct Load and Email Upload
– NOW LIVE
– Around 2,300 transactions processed since the ‘go-live’ weekend of
the 9/10th September.
• Release 2 – DRI Functionality
– MAT Date – Ongoing at present
– Go live Date – November 2006
• Release 3 – Utility Repository

Programme Office
A&S – Publication of Design
and Measurement Update
Brian Austin / 25th October 2006
Publication of A&S Strategy Design
Market Reform
• MRG approval to publish now received
Page 24
• Business Design and supporting Technical Information with
covering letter
• Context is three work streams:
– Measurement
– Insurers’ Market Repository
– End Vision
Documentation Key Points
• Concentrates on End Vision – full implementation of
Market Reform
electronic processing using ACORD messaging
• Deliberately bold
• Few caveats why difficult or slow to be realised
• Not prescriptive on implementation paths
• Optional implementation paths for trading partners to select
• Will influence Reform agenda for 2007, including e:placing
and e:claims
Page 25
Key Issues
Market Reform
• Use or otherwise of “post placement” message – use of
Page 26
such a message will be optional for implementers of P2P
framework
• Claims processing – documentation illustrates how
approach to A&S and claims processing can be consistent
with hubs and existing claims schemes
• Statistical and regulatory data – Lloyd’s is working with
managing agents in this area
Use of the Documentation
Market Reform
• Highlights process flows and message types
• Not a formal technical design – it is for each firm to produce
their own
• Set against the context of the other Reforms, eg IMR LPAN,
firms should:
– Assess impact on current process and evolve new ones
– Investigate message transport mechanisms
– Consider document repository interoperability and its implications
– Familiarise with referenced ACORD documentation
– Develop a clear strategy for business units and systems to improve
A&S processes
Page 27
A&S Measurement Regime
• Sponsored by A&S Project Board
Market Reform
•
Aim to create transparency of today’s paper process
• Publish XIS checks as applied today
• Capture data from XIS and analyse Market performance eg
– de-linking take up,
– quality of broker submission,
– timeliness, eg unwelcome trends (eg submit close to SDD)
• Identify quick wins and educate to improve performance as
a prelude to:
– A&S implementation proper
– Use of ACORD messages
Page 28
– Validation at source in broker systems
Checks/Procedures Publication Status
• All Lloyd’s checks published except for detailed overseas
Market Reform
checks
• Lloyd’s Tax rules published
• IUA checks readied and awaiting sign off
• IUA Tax “mat” ready for publication
• LPAN completion guide published
• Work on education material for accounting splits being
prepared
Page 29
Reports Status
• First graphs and tabular data received from XIS and
Market Reform
to be published on MRPO web site
Page 30
• Regular monthly updates will be added
• Dialogue between IUA and XIS for company market
reports begun
• Graphs will include:
– XIS query and rejection percentages
– source of files eg Repository, E:LPAN2 etc
– Common areas of failure
