  • Enhance overall claims servicing
  • Facilitate return to work more effectively
  • Integrate with existing Policy Administration and Financial systems
  • Leverage rules-based workflows for pre-eligibility, eligibility and payment calculations
  • Improve worker productivity and prioritizationtt

ClaimVantage had unique expertise and innovative capabilities that enabled QBC to install the most comprehensive and cost-effective claims management platform, for both disability and life insurance claims processing. Using an incremental 10-month implementation strategy, QBC deployed ClaimVantage to streamline their claim management process, automate their eligibility process, and even integrate policy, financial, and check printing systems.

The ClaimVantage solution extensively improves worker productivity resulting in more than 200 claims and 300 payments per day, using fewer resources.
