Solution developed by act digital prevented millions in losses from improper claims
A Brazilian insurance company sought to increase the accuracy of risk analysis related to claims, denials, deviations, or fraud. Despite having a system in place, the company still faced financial losses due to improper payments caused by failures in identifying these occurrences.
The act digital team implemented a solution based on Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to enhance the predictive analysis of the company’s existing system. Additionally, new functionalities and features were incorporated into the software, improving risk management for the business.
In the first year following the solution’s implementation, the company achieved savings of BRL 16.6 million. The company’s five-year projection estimates savings of BRL 490 million, thanks to the enhanced predictive capabilities of its system.
Facing claims and identifying fraud are constant challenges for insurers striving to protect their financial health. In this market, where each claim impacts finances and amplifies risks, the ability to predict and prevent fraud is indispensable. With the advancement of new technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, new possibilities arise to tackle this challenge.
With the goal of incorporating advanced technologies into its processes, one of the most important insurance companies in Brazil hired act digital. The project involved implementing a predictive model based on AI and Machine Learning, capable of identifying suspicious patterns and improper claims, preventing million-dollar losses.
The solution provided the company with a comprehensive and detailed view of operations, enabling more effective preventive actions. In just the first year after implementation, the insurer saved over BRL 16 million, demonstrating the positive impact and importance of predictive analysis in claims and fraud management.
Moreover, the average effectiveness rate of denials— a metric indicating the proportion of payment rejections for services rendered— increased from around 50% to 70%. These results led the company to project savings of BRL 490 million over five years. Check out all the project details!
Founded in 1895, the company is one of the largest insurers in Brazil. In 2007, it became a publicly traded company, strengthening its relationship with investors and the market. Currently, the group serves over 7 million clients, offering insurance products in various sectors, including health, dental, life, and pensions, as well as investments.
Through these products, the company fulfills its mission of ensuring a better life for people by providing support, security, and autonomy at all times. Its solutions focus on ensuring physical, emotional, and financial well-being.
With more than 4,000 employees, the insurer has a comprehensive network of specialists, including brokers, doctors, consultants, and other professionals in the insurance and investment sectors.
The company faced financial losses due to fraud, claims, and denials paid improperly. For example, denials, which are rejections of payments for services rendered, when not identified, generated avoidable costs. The issue was that the company’s analysis system did not provide the necessary precision to reduce these losses and optimize processes.
The insurer already had a system in place, but it was outdated and did not meet operational needs. For instance, the deviations detected by the tool were limited, and some crucial analyses were not covered (such as those related to materials and medications that could be denied).
To address the challenges, a predictive model was developed to identify and prevent denials, structuring a robust database and integrating data from multiple transactional sources. The solution included data visualization and continuous monitoring of the predictive model’s performance, enabling more efficient preventive actions.
Methodologies such as Design Thinking, Human-Centered Design, and DesignOps were adopted to underpin the design process. Additionally, the Double Diamond tool was used to conduct UX research and develop prototypes.
The implementation of the solution brought significant improvements to the company, optimizing processes and reducing losses. The technical and administrative analysis of denials was automated, allowing for faster fraud detection. As a result, operational efficiency increased, leading to a significant reduction in fraud and denials, generating savings for the insurer.
