The Infosys Insurance Distributed Application is envisioned as business networks that support the core processes of policy administration and claims handling. Insurance companies can leverage its capabilities to rollout new policies at competitive price-points unlocking new revenue streams and to make existing processes more efficient.
Some of the modules included in this application are:
Multi-Party Claims Handling:
A network of insurers and Third-Party Administrators (TPA) to automatically detect non-compliance of claims data and fraud (intentional/un-intentional) to reduce due-diligence cost and claims processing time for the Insurer/TPA.
Parametric Insurance:
A democratized insurance platform that is secure, transparent and autonomous for insurance seekers to customize parametric insurance products and manage policies and claims seamlessly. It is a data driven fault-tolerant ecosystem that can trigger instantaneous claims settlement process for the Insured based on predetermined rules.
Subrogation:
A shared ledger to record claims lifecycle that is transparent, always available and irrefutable to both the insurers after a claim has been submitted. It provides a communication system that accepts real-time claims clarifications and handles negotiations.
Usage Based Insurance:
This module provides a secure data channel that can capture vehicle data securely, transparently and irrefutably through OBD port by all fleet management stakeholders so the vehicle insurance can be priced correctly.
Re-Insurance:
Re-insurance module allows high quality reporting and monitoring of risk exposure. In fact, our Index based insurance solution has the potential to positively impact re-insurance market in countries with lower insurance penetration.
