C-MAS also offers independent technical claims auditing services.
Handling can be audited against a service level agreement, subjective standards of handling (to assess leakage), and / or against an agreed standard in key areas.
At First Group we introduced a bespoke audit score card that scored the claims team in 14 areas. This lead to a % score equating to an alpha description (e.g. Very Good,
Excellent etc).
This compares claims handling with market best practice and standards.
This can be used to review an in house operation or to assess external suppliers (existing or prospective).
Independent validation of internal standards can be used very persuasively in marketing material.
