Abstract:

An insurance claim processing system and method which provides a plurality of prime movers such as insurers, intermediates, and risk managers and a plurality of suppliers including claim service providers, other professionals and vendors with the ability to simultaneously access, modify, and enhance a claim file remotely over a communications network. The claim processing system allows prime movers to select, interact with, assign tasks to, monitor, and evaluate claim service suppliers. As selected suppliers completed their assigned tasks, the suppliers are able to electronically attach electronic report documents to the claim file. Once all the tasks are completed, the prime mover associated with the claim file is notified and reviews the progress of the claim. Any additional tasks can be assigned and the claim adjustment can be completed. The relative performance of suppliers can be evaluated based on comparative performance records maintained by the system and future selection of suppliers can be informed by historical performance of suppliers. In this way, the system serves as an electronic clearing house for insurance claim processing.
