Claim Management

AI-Powered Virtual Agents for Filing Claims, Claim Status, and More

The Ultimate Guide to AI Self-Service Without Compromise

What Are Virtual Agents for Claim Management?

AI-powered virtual agents use conversational AI to automate the routine conversations traditionally handled by live agents. With SmartAction’s Omni-Bot™ feature, organizations typically start in voice, where the ROI is the greatest, then scale the same experience to chat or text for a complete omnichannel self-service strategy.

While claim management processes are often detailed and complex, there are lots of opportunities to introduce AI automation that helps streamline experiences for both customers and your business. Offload routine calls and chats from customer service reps to AI-powered virtual agents. By seamlessly integrating with your CRM or ERP, virtual agents use natural language processing (NLP) to help customers begin filing a claim, check on claim status, review policy information, and much more - all the things live agents do.

What is the Customer Experience Like with a Virtual Agent?
  • Scenario 1: Filing a Claim – Homeowner

    Last night, Brandon accidentally left a dry dish towel a little too close to the stove. The towel caught fire and burned the nearby kitchen cabinets and wall. Brandon needs to go through his homeowner’s insurance provider to have the cabinets replaced and the wall fixed. Brandon calls to start the typically unpleasant process of filing a claim, only to find that an AI-powered virtual agent is easy to use and very helpful.

  • Scenario 2: Policy Information

    Cindy bought a home three years ago at the bottom of the market. Since that time, the market has shot up, and her home is worth nearly double what she paid for it. However, because the value has changed so significantly, she wants to check on her homeowner’s insurance policy and make sure she’s insured to value. She’s able to locate a policy verification phone number online, and she gives a call to get the details. This routine inquiry is perfect for a well-designed virtual agent. Listen as Cindy goes through the process.

  • Scenario 3: Claim Status

    Nicole’s car is her pride and joy. She is conscious about maintenance and gets it washed every week. While visiting a friend, she parked on the street, and another driver swerved and hit her parked car. The car is already at the body shop, and her claim has been filed, but the insurance company’s decision seems to be taking a long time. Nicole gives her insurance a call to check on the status of her claim. See how a virtual agent offers assistance through human-centric design.
