Distributed Subrogation Ledger
Overview
Manual claim subrogation process is always a huge challenge for non-life carriers, as it usually requires a significant amount of involvement from insurers and third-party companies. Introducing blockchain here could provide an efficient automation mechanism for insurers to manage the subrogation process.
Insurers around the globe face the challenge of excessive subrogation costs and reducing claims recoverable. Though insurers use well-defined processes and technology to reduce the overall costs, they struggle due to following challenges:
- Multiple iterations of data reconciliation among claiming insurer
- High administration cost of subrogation due to the involvement of multiple parties
- Delay in recovery processing
- Periodic settlement of subrogation claims using bank as an intermediary
- Lack of single view of information connecting multiple participants
A decentralized blockchain solution can help insurers reduce subrogation costs and accelerate recovery time
