Longer turnaround times (TAT) can potentially affect customer services, create bottlenecks and eventually hinder insurance business growth. Even in the back office scenario there can be instances causing the turnaround times to be longer than expected. There may be several reasons for this. Some of which are enlisted below:

As such in a situation where insurance businesses faces issues with meeting the targets, TATs in areas of underwriting and operational processes, piling up the backlog, most likely the following options come handy:

Turnaround times do affect insurance backlog and obstruct business growth but there are also measures to deal with them. Firstly, TATs affect open and active insurance cases. We do know that an organizations’ turnaround time for incoming claims can have an impact on both the backlog of open insurance cases as well as the number of active insurance cases. If the claims are taking too long to process, there are a couple of solutions to address the issue:

There is always the need to procure someone who is trained in accurate testing procedures. Outsourcing provides that advantage of reducing the expenses so that the financial resources are invested in areas where they are required the most such as infrastructure, marketing and workforce management. It is also important for a business to deal with its insurance backlog as long as the company is up and running.

Finally, in order to reduce the turnaround times and lift the weight off the company’s IT systems, it helps in a major way to have well documented contracts that spell out the liability and expenses. Also, preapproved service requests by the vendors who can respond faster if need be and always insisting on proof of payment before doing anything else in order to lessen the processing time and hourly price quotes, all these help in limiting to available budget without exceeding and adding upfront constraints on the company.

Automate to speed UP processes
Competitive advantage in Insurance Business can be achieved by shortening the sales cycle. The faster the company submits a quote, there is a higher probability to close the deal. This is where intelligent automation comes in the picture. It helps in speeding up the review of policies and benefit booklets. This helps acceleration of the quote submission process and adds to company growth.

Research shows that quality of quotes also drastically improves via automation. This means it has a positive impact on the bottom lines of business by leading to better margins by enhancing the probability of signing a contract.
