Optimization of procurement practices saving aspects
Buyers prefer outsourcing the claims processing services based on their level of expertise in the line of business, high dollar claims, and claims that require specialized expertise. However, buyers need to evaluate and identify whether the claims management process must be selectively or completely outsourced based on buyers' expertise, skills and volume of the workforce, and technological capabilities.
Buyers should develop a claims business plan in collaboration with suppliers to address the basic aspects of claims processing. Claims handling has multiple processes and the involvement of multiple teams throughout the entire claim lifecycle.
Bundling of services saving aspects
Provision of various value-added services by suppliers can increases buyers' negotiation opportunities. As a result, buyers should focus on evaluating the effectiveness of value-added services such as claims advocacy, loss funds management, and investments consulting provided by suppliers.
