Insurance IT Services

Insurance companies manage data through sophisticated, technology-driven systems designed to handle vast amounts of sensitive information while ensuring security, compliance, and operational efficiency. They collect and store data, such as policyholder details, claims records, financial transactions, and risk profiles, in secure, cloud-based or on-premises databases, often using integrated policy administration systems. 

These systems, supported by Managed Service Providers like LevelUp, leverage automation for routine tasks like data entry, claims processing, and underwriting, reducing errors and improving speed.

Automation in insurance refers to using technology, such as software and artificial intelligence, to streamline and optimize repetitive, time-consuming processes, reducing manual effort and improving efficiency. Insurance company automation encompasses claims processing, policy administration, underwriting, and customer service, leveraging tools like robotic process automation, machine learning, and workflow management systems. 

For example, automation can take over data entry for claims or policy renewals, cutting up to 50% from your processing times. AI-driven chatbots handle customer inquiries 24/7, while predictive analytics assess risks and detect fraud, saving costs. Insurance fraud costs the industry approximately $40B annually.

Generative AI (Gen AI) is transforming the insurance sector by enhancing efficiency, personalizing services, and improving decision-making through advanced data processing and automation. For instance, Gen AI streamlines claims handling by analyzing unstructured data, such as photos, videos, or customer narratives, and extracting relevant details to assess damage or validate claims. For instance, it can evaluate car accident photos to estimate repair costs or detect fraud, reducing processing times from days to hours. Tools from Tractable or IBM Watson integrate Gen AI to automate 60-80% of your routine claims tasks, cutting costs and improving customer satisfaction. LevelUp can recommend various Gen AI tools to enhance your business operations and reduce costs.
