Challenge

Policyholders remit premium payments to the Insurer in many ways. The application of premium payments accompanied by billing remittance is automated. Other payments types (e.g. payment by phone, missing remittance) need to be applied manually by the payments team which must research, identify and apply each payment to the right policy. Insurer sought to automate posting of unapplied funds to reduce the burden on the payment team and hasten the application of premiums to policies.

Solution

Automation applies unapplied payments to client policies. Unapplied funds and open accounts receivable reports are retrieved from the financial systems using the existing reporting tool. Data required is extracted and transformed for use by the process. Using business rules, it searches premium receivable data, matches the payment to the right policy and applies it in the admin system. A management reconciliation report is generated for the processed matches.
