Claims
Claims offers both in-house and external users access to the entire claims
lifecycle from the web. integrated with policy, Claims offers coverage verification,
automated workflow and routing, electronic document management, and
financial transactions with authority limit checking. also included are automated
reinsurance processing, diaries, notes, and correspondence tracking. the com-
ponents work together seamlessly to make claims processing more
efficient, accurate, and productive.
Rating
rating is powered by an object-oriented rating tool that is seamlessly integrated
with policy and lets non-technical users create, build, and test the rating
algorithms. New programs and rates can be quickly implemented and changed.
Underwriting
automated expert underwriting is rule-based software that is seamlessly integrated
with policy and allows your business to apply a true straight-through process.
Underwriting automates the analysis process by applying rules and their
associated parameters to policy data and allows policies to automatically issue,
decline, or refer to the proper underwriter for review.
Billing
Billing provides flexibility for you to bill policies on a direct, split, or audit billing
basis. in addition to manual payment processing Billing is fully
integrated with 3rd party applications for credit card, debit card, electronic
check, and lock box transactions. all premium-bearing transactions initiated
through policy are automatically processed through Billing, eliminating the need
for manual notifications.
