Document classification and indexing are important steps in underwriting a policy (from submissions processing to binding a policy), and claims management (from FNOL or FROI and ongoing claims handling).
Document types vary from structured forms (e.g. ACORD, UB-04, CMS-1500 etc) to completely unstructured documents (e.g. demand letters, policy documents, general correspondence etc).
Many underwriting and claims teams are still wrestling with manually processing these documents, impacting their efficiency and effectiveness.
Challenges include
Document volume combined with variability often results in highly skilled underwriting and claims professionals spending over 30% of their time receiving and manually reviewing documents.
Incorrect classification and indexing results in process inefficiencies and rework.
Seasonal events, such as CAT season, often result in large volume spikes that exceed the existing team’s capacity, requiring organizations to turn to temp labor.

Correspondence that is emailed will go direct to a Digital Coworker for scanning and analysis. Correspondence that is mailed, will go to a central mail room to be scanned by a lean scan team.
Traditionally, the imaging team or adjuster receives the document package, identifies key information and manually enters the data into the claims/policy system. Further, document and data validation is performed by the internal team or an external vendor/partner
In this future state, the Digital Coworker now receives the document package, and uses InsurGPTTM to identify key information (such as policy number, claim name and number, document type etc) and enters the data into the claims/policy system.
The central imaging team are now responsible for data validation, accuracy and completeness, and working with the Digital Coworker around exceptions due to bad scans or missing data.
The indexing team/adjuster uses the Roots Cockpit to communicate with and assist the Digital Coworker. The user reviews each item that requires human assistance (typically, less than 10% of workflow) and the overall document throughput and performance in real-time.
The underwriter or adjuster can now either process a policy or claim using accurate, complete information or pass to a Digital Coworker to complete a process (e.g. setup FNOL correspondence),
Digital Coworkers come pre-packed with skills, knowledge and capabilities to effectively manage your document classification and indexing needs.

"Insurance companies have a desperate need to automate many business processes for efficiency, but current solutions are limited to rule-based tasks and aren’t insurance industry-specific, limiting their potential, Digital Coworkers lessen our stress over finding and retaining talent, and unburden our teams so they can focus on more impactful work.

This has both reduced our workload and has reduced human data entry error to almost zero. The best part is that our process with Roots Automation has allowed our agents to do what they do best, and that is talk to people and help them with their individual and Medicare health insurance decisions."

“We began our relationship with Roots in 2022 as part of a larger corporate strategy to use technology to be more efficient and to better serve our customers. With Roots, they're only focused on the insurance industry. They could talk our language and lead us through different workflow options; they knew the challenges we would face and we made quick decisions in a short timeframe. It was very rewarding, in the end, to have deployed the first Digital Coworker at Eastern. I'm very proud. We solved the core use case problem and accomplished our goal of implementing AI into Eastern Alliance.”
