Insurance depends on claims administration. And proper claims processing requires a clear view of the policy. When access to the essentials of the policy become unconnected, disjointed, or murky, the claims process suffers.
Legacy policy administration systems (PAS) can lead to claims leakage and can drain company resources — taking critical manpower and mindshare away from strategic decisions to focus on maintaining an ineffective system. According to Deloitte, “legacy PAS systems continue to limit an insurer’s potential for growth and its ability to meet its digital transformation objectives.”
Therefore, modern core administration systems place policy administration at the center — to enable integrated claims and leave management, complex billing, and revenue management capabilities. Together with digital enablement and analytics, these capabilities further enhance the experience for employers and employees.
In addition, the growing complexity of the employee benefits market means considering group, voluntary, paid leave, and other absence management offerings. What kind of PAS could concurrently address all these scenarios? Is that even achievable?
