Verisk Launches EHR Triage Engine to Help Speed Approval of Life Insurance Applications
August 10 2020 - 09:34AM
Verisk (Nasdaq:VRSK), a leading data analytics provider, announced
today the launch of its new EHR Triage Engine, a tool that uses
data from consumer-authorized electronic health records (EHRs) to
help life insurers fast-track many applications for
coverage—potentially cutting decision time from weeks to minutes.
The EHR Triage Engine bypasses manual workflows, leveraging
advanced predictive analytics and automation to digitally ingest
and analyze EHRs. The tool can evaluate 95,000 impairments in five
minutes or less, so life insurers can qualify as much as 85 percent
of applicants for coverage with minimal or no underwriter review.
With automated processing of low-risk cases, carriers can provide a
streamlined customer experience for the vast majority of their
applications and enable underwriters to focus their energy on
complex risks.
“Many life insurers are looking to implement digital strategies
to modernize and streamline their business for a competitive
advantage,” said Maroun Mourad, president of global underwriting at
Verisk. “Verisk is at the forefront of a revolution in analyzing
structured digital health data for insurers that’s shared by their
applicants, and is indispensable for automating real-time, low-, or
no-touch decision making. This can help insurers deliver a quick
purchase process for the vast majority of applicants who are
relatively low risk.”
Research shows that it takes four weeks to underwrite the
average life policy, but half of all life insurance shoppers are
more likely to buy if they can forego the most intrusive and
time-consuming element—a required physical exam. The EHR Triage
Engine helps respond to those customer expectations, an effort
supported by a team of Verisk experts in biostatistics, data
science, medical research, regulatory compliance, and data
privacy.
Verisk developed the EHR Triage Engine in collaboration with
SCOR, a global Tier 1 reinsurer. SCOR plans to integrate Verisk’s
EHR Triage Engine into SCOR Global Life’s Velogica underwriting
system. The Verisk solution can also be easily delivered via a
stand-alone API or integrated into technology from FAST, a Verisk
business and leading provider of end-to-end software for the life
insurance and annuity markets.
