Claims automation can reduce cycle time for low-severity claims, but ROI only holds when you measure the right portfolio slice.
Start with FNOL volume, average handling cost, and the share of claims that are rules-eligible. Exclude complex bodily injury and high-fraud segments until you have investigator workflows in place.
A simple scoping model
- Count annual claims in automation scope
- Estimate minutes saved per claim and fully loaded handler cost
- Subtract model review and exception handling effort
- Pilot on one line of business before scaling
