By GlobalDataMEMIC claims senior vice-president Matt Harmon said: “The benchmarking tool compares individual claims to similar industry claims. It highlights those claims deviating from norms, enabling us to decide if reserve levels are adequate.
“Adequate reserves create greater accuracy when calculating experience modification factors, and in turn better serve the interest of the policyholder and MEMIC alike.”
“We can create guardrails on our reserve levels so that more of our future predictions fall within those parameters, enabling us to be much more consistent than we are today, and delivering more reliable results.”
The benchmarking solution of Gradient AI uses a data pool comprising numerous claims and policies, facilitating customers to compare the reserves of their claims to those from similar ones in the industry.
Claims managers can subsequently evaluate if a particular claim’s reserve is on target or requires any adjustments.
