Cost-efficient, secure processes

We input and manage your claims faster and with greater accuracy and efficiency than anyone else, enabling significant cost savings. Sophisticated claims processing seamlessly handles all mailed, faxed, and electronically submitted claims. We leverage today’s most advanced data capture technology, including document imaging, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR). All claim processing work we do is handled in-house for ironclad control over private information.

All parties you authorize are just a click away from the latest status on a matter. Designed by attorneys with vast claims management experience, our proprietary ClaimsMatrix® and FacilitatorSM software provides you with instant, 24/7 access to all updated case information, including status of notices sent and claims received.
