Premium volumes for pet insurance in the United States have been on the rise throughout the past decade. According to Statista research, the numbers have almost quadrupled in the past eight years. High amounts of claims equal enormous amounts of paperwork that insurance clients and pet insurers alike have to handle most efficiently. Document scanning functionalities inside your mobile application or website enable fast transmission of veterinary bills and create frictionless, easy-to-use workflows that enable short turnaround times and increase customer satisfaction.
Which challenges do pet insurance providers face regarding their claims management?
Filing a claim can be a tricky and time intense matter, independent of the type of insurance a client is dealing with. But it is a critical moment in the relationship of an insurer with its insured. The first time an insured person is handling a claim is considered a “make or break” event. At this point, the client fully experiences and rates their carrier’s case processing and customer service for the first time. Once they face friction or dissatisfaction within this process, insureds are likely to search for a different provider with better service offerings and overall claims management.
As highlighted in the introduction, pet health insurers have been dealing with tremendous increases in customers, increasing workload, and processing claims for several years now. In order to handle those rising numbers of claims, most pet insurers have introduced mobile apps by now, allowing their clients to manage their claims digitally. Document transmission is often performed by uploading photos of veterinary bills via the app, often resulting in low-quality results due to user error, insufficient phone cameras, or bad angles and lighting.
Friction during the claims management resulting from poorly digitized documents leads to extended waiting periods, requiring extensive communication between the client and the insurance clerks, resulting in low customer satisfaction rates. Poor digital claims management makes pet owners more likely to opt for carriers with a more streamlined customer service and claims administration.
