Abstract:

The present invention generally relates to a claims review system for electronic review of insurance claims. The claims review system contemplates several classes of users and comprises four modules, namely, a questionnaire module, a review module, an administration module, and a security module, that each implements an elective function of the review system. The questionnaire module allows specified users to create questionnaires used to gather information about a particular claim. Using the review module a specified user is able to perform reviews of the claims and respond to the questionnaires. The review module also allows a user to compare finalized reviews and to invite another user to view the comparison. The primary function of the administration module is to allow a user to track the location of physical claim files, and to input tracking information for physical files. Lastly, the security module may be used to create and to modify user roles for the system.
