In today's budget-conscious and competitive environment, insurance companies require technology solutions that create efficiencies in the claims process. Because fax communication represents such a critical element of the insurance claims process, it is a logical place to consider a solution that increases productivity and improves service levels.
In exploring claims handling as a highly manual process, speakers will discuss how a cloud-based fax services model can:
- Eliminate the costs of supporting an internal fax infrastructure
- Convert claim forms into electronic images
- Automate the processing of forms-based data into electronic formats for workflow integration
- Automate claims routing based on rules and tasks
- Enhance security of private information
- Generate a rapid ROI
"Replacing manual, paper-based processes with automated business processes is essential to remain competitive in today's insurance market," explained Bayard. "By integrating hosted fax services and electronic data processing into the claims process, insurance companies have increased agent and client satisfaction, and realized significant operational savings in a challenging marketplace."
