COA 3.2.2 allows claims handlers to input claims information
faster than before, while retaining high levels of accuracy and consistency – a
key strength of the COA solution. The new features of COA 3.2.2 will enhance an
insurance organisation’s ability to use COA to provide an effective training
tool and to establish best practices in the claims handling process.
“The new version of Claims Outcome Advisor supplements the
many advances we have already made for the consistent and effective processing
of claims,” commented Joe Pendle, Director of Client Services for ISO. “COA
3.2.2 allows this accuracy and consistency to be made even more effective
because the claims entry process has been made quicker. With COA 3.2.2 we built
on quality, and have added the speed of entry that can deliver all-round
efficiency.”
COA 3.2.2 deepens the medical encyclopaedia contained within
the Claims Outcome Advisor solution which is key to the accuracy and
consistency of its claims processing capability. The database contains
information on over 18,000 injuries and 14,000 occupations and the new version
incorporates additional functionality which allows this information to be
searched and entered more quickly by claims handlers.
“COA is an extremely effective tool to supplement claims
handlers’ skills and knowledge bases,” continued Joe Pendle. “We have always
aimed to deliver applications which provide excellent support and a reliable
reference tool to drive more detailed management of the whole claims handling
process, which inevitably leads to improved efficiency. COA 3.2.2 retains all
the accuracy and detail of earlier versions but makes the claims handling
process quicker and easier.”
