Transforming Claims Cycle Time Through AI-Driven Routing

Transforming Cycle Time, Capacity, and Customer Experience Through AI-Driven Routing

Business Context

average claims cycle time

96%

of claim time spent waiting, not working

losses

18,000

claims processed annually

Claims delays were hurting customer satisfaction, tying up reserves, and overloading adjusters.

 

Despite only 4–6 hours of actual work, claims took 42+ days due to repeated handoffs, manual routing, vendor delays, and long queues between steps.

 

The result: rising LAE, unnecessary reopen rates, adjuster burnout, and millions in operational drag.

The Challenge

Claims moved slowly not because of claim complexity, but because the workflow forced adjusters, vendors, and support teams into 8–12 manual touchpoints per claim.

Manual Handoffs

FNOL → queue → adjuster assignment → vendor request → vendor return → adjuster review → payment → closure approval.

 

Each handoff added 8–18 hours of waiting.

Reopens and Quality Issues

12% of claims reopened due to premature closure—missing documents, incomplete repairs, or unresolved coverage items.

Operational Drag

Adjusters were overwhelmed by administrative routing, not claim decisions. Supervisors closed claims manually weeks after work was done.

Poor Routing Logic

Round-robin assignment mismatched complexity with adjuster skill. Simple claims went to senior adjusters; complex claims landed with juniors.

 

The Problem Impact
  • Cycle Time 42 days (96% waiting)
  • LAE Ratio 14.2% (inflated by delays + rework)
  • Customer Satisfaction 68 CSAT
  • Reopen Rate 12%
  • Adjuster Capacity 105 claims/month
  • Turnover 24% (burnout from admin load)

Our Solution

A fully automated workflow engine that eliminates manual handoffs, routes claims intelligently, and ensures claims close right the first time.

Instant

AI-Powered Triage at FNOL

AI scores claim complexity the moment FNOL is submitted and automatically routes each claim to the right adjuster based on severity, expertise, and real-time workload—eliminating round-robin misassignments and reducing queue time dramatically.

Unified

Automated Vendor Assignment & Coordination

The system triggers appraisers, repair shops, and service vendors instantly using predefined rules and AI signals, removing multi-day delays and ensuring claims progress as soon as the next step is ready—without waiting for adjuster intervention.

Straight-Through Payment Workflows

Once approvals are met, payment processing executes automatically with no manual handoffs, clearing a major bottleneck and accelerating the path from estimate → settlement → closure.

Icon

Pre-Closure Validation to Prevent Reopens

Intelligent validation checks confirm documentation, repairs, invoices, and claimant satisfaction before a claim closes, reducing reopen rates and ensuring every claim is resolved correctly the first time.

Key Success Metric

“The 35% cycle time reduction gave us the equivalent of five additional adjusters — without hiring anyone.”

 

A complete transformation of speed, efficiency, and claims quality.

AI Value Amplification

AI didn’t just accelerate workflow — it changed the economics of claims operations. 

Clarity at Scale

AI scored claim complexity instantly and routed it to the right adjuster or STP path from day one. 

Confidence

Better match quality (45% improvement) ensured the right adjuster handled the right claim, reducing errors and rework.

Operational Leverage

Automation removed hundreds of hours of low-value routing tasks, effectively adding the capacity of five full-time adjusters without hiring.

The outcome: a faster, smarter claims operation where automation handles the handoffs and adjusters focus on judgment—cutting cycle time, reducing reopens, and expanding capacity without adding staff.
