“Analytics have proven their value in the workers’ compensation industry,” said
“However, the efforts have been largely one-off,” Lakshmikanthan continued. “While this model works for some of the strategic decision-making applications (e.g., pricing), it is suboptimal for many of the common operational problems. CATT is the air traffic controller every claims team wants — and needs — to help focus their efforts and drive improved outcomes.
Market Challenges
While the majority of workers’ compensation claims are straightforward, a significant fraction of the claims in any book of business are responsible for the bulk of the costs and effort. In this highly “skewed” environment, claims teams make a heroic effort every day to scan through all of their open claims and identify those with an urgent need for management due to, for example:
- New claims that need immediate attention.
- Claims that are “escalating” in complexity.
- Claims that are heading toward attorney involvement.
- Claims where the adjuster’s estimate might need to be modified.
Furthermore, injured workers can experience delays and view nonpayment of medical expenses as a betrayal. Slight delays have been known to cause loss of trust and lead to attorney involvement.
How Does CATT Help Claims Adjusters Monitor and Manage Their Claims?
CATT is the control tower that every claims team wants. It uses a series of advanced algorithms and analytic models to isolate, in real time, all open claims that need attention. It then sends alerts and notifications to the claims teams to help them manage their book of business. The results can be easily integrated into existing workflows.
Using CATT, a claims adjuster will never miss a claim that is escalating, has a high likelihood of attorney involvement or has an adjuster estimate not supported by the evidence.
Pricing and Availability
CATT is now commercially available. Deployment is done in two phases:
- Phase 1: Setup and initial evaluation, estimated at four to six weeks for setup and model evaluation
- Phase 2: Ongoing support and refinement
Pricing for CATT is based on the size (i.e., number of new claims being received every year) of the customer. Visit http://www.claraanalytics.com/products/catt to learn more and schedule a demo.
