Objective

The client's claims processing system was outdated and manual, making it time-consuming and inefficient to handle high case volumes. Reworking the claims process required navigating multiple screens in an antiquated mainframe application, an arduous process. The goal was to find ways to automate letter generation, improving productivity per hour worked (VPH). To develop insights, the client needed an analysis of:

  • The effort required across different application screens to process cases
  • The correlations between processing times, steps taken, and letter types generated

Automating letter generation could streamline claims reworking and boost efficiency. By understanding current workflows and letter generation patterns, targeted solutions could be identified.
