A model that reads every claim, and pulls aside the few that need a look

Sompo Insurance Singapore screens all incoming claims with a machine learning model, which identifies the ones that need further investigation so the rest are not held behind them.

The problem

Claims processing takes time, and the time is paid for twice: by the customer waiting and by the manpower spent getting through the queue. Checking every claim properly is expensive, checking a sample means some that needed a closer look did not get one, and either way the straightforward claims wait behind the difficult ones.

Who it is for

Made for the teamsthat keep every claim moving

  • Claims teams

    Every claim screened rather than a sample, so the ones needing investigation are chosen rather than noticed.

  • Operations

    Manpower is the cost in claims processing. Less of it goes on claims that were always going to be straightforward.

  • Policyholders

    For the person who filed it, the claim is the relationship. Waiting is most of what they experience.

How it works

The model screens every incoming claim, identifies the ones that need investigating, and lets the rest clear without waiting behind them.

  1. Screen all of them

    Every incoming claim goes through the model, not a sample of them. Coverage is the point: nothing is skipped because the queue was long.

  2. Pull aside the few

    The model identifies which claims need further investigation, and which do not.

  3. Spend the attention there

    Assessors work the flagged set, where a closer look changes the outcome, rather than working down an undifferentiated queue.

  4. Let the rest through

    The straightforward claims are no longer held behind the difficult ones, which is where the turnaround comes from.

The results

The results, as the source reports them. It publishes no figures for them, so none are quoted here.

  • Shorter turnaround

    Claims come back to the customer sooner.

  • No claim left waiting

    Screening everything is what makes that a check rather than a hope.

  • Less manpower per claim

    The source reports good progress on cost savings, without publishing a figure.

Where to start

What we can buildfor you

The same pattern, built around your book. Each idea comes from a service we already run.

  • Claims triage

    Screens every incoming claim and marks the ones needing investigation, so assessors start from a sorted queue rather than a list.

  • Document intake

    Reads policy documents, forms and loss reports, pulls the fields out and routes them. A person handles what does not fit.

  • Policy questions

    Answers questions about cover, exclusions and renewals from your own wordings, with a person taking over for anything contentious.

  • Renewal and lapse signals

    Reads the book you already hold and flags which policies are likely to lapse, with the reasons attached.
