Solution Description

Problem description

The growing number of insurance claims and the need to handle them without increasing the number of human adjusters and without exceeding the settlement deadline.

Solution

A solution was created for automated claims settlement that can process documents submitted by the insured (medical reports, etc.). The system can receive reports in natural language, recognize the type of incident, and find the necessary information in Kooperativa’s internal systems. Based on medical reports, it can determine the diagnosis required for settlement, without the need for adjuster intervention in routine cases. Moreover, it can recognize which complex cases require the involvement of a human adjuster. This brings a high degree of automation, faster claims processing, and reduced error rates.

Client Feedback

Highly positive statement by Ondřej Poul on LinkedIn: “First in the Czech Republic! We’re settling life accident claims at Kooperativa with an AI automaton. I’m not talking about a successful PoC, or just OCR data from medical documentation, or simple non-life claims. No, no, no! I mean a fully end-to-end process of life accident claims settlement”
