Capacity for Complex Claims
TL;DR: A regional insurance carrier's adjusters were overwhelmed reviewing thousands of auto claims. Nexum Automations delivered an AI claims adjudicator that ingests documents and photos, verifies coverage, and issues initial decisions. Processing time dropped by 75%, accuracy climbed to 99.5%, and adjusters now focus on high-value, complex cases.
What Was the Problem Costing the Client?
Adjusters spent 70% of their time on routine claims—collecting documents, validating policies, and retyping data. The result: 15-day cycle times, compliance risk, and low customer satisfaction.
"Our best people were becoming data clerks. We were burning out our top talent while customers waited. The model was broken."
— Director of Claims Operations
Scaling meant hiring more adjusters, not improving throughput. The carrier needed a new operating model.
How Did We Automate the Process?
We built an AI co-pilot that handles the full first-pass adjudication workflow.
- Automated Triage & Data Extraction: OCR and NLP structure every FNOL document, photo, and estimate instantly.
- AI-Powered Damage Assessment: Vision models score vehicle damage severity, flagging potential total losses.
- Policy Verification & Adjudication: Claim data is cross-referenced against policy rules to recommend approve, deny, or escalate.
- Fraud Detection: Pattern analysis spots anomalies and routes suspicious claims to investigators.
