The AI Claims Workflow
Follow our complete Claims Assistance Workflow for step-by-step implementation.
Phase 1: Intake & Filing
- Structured intake: Use a consistent checklist (what, when, where, damage, injuries, mitigation, reports, photos)
- AI FNOL narrative: Convert rough notes into professional carrier-ready documentation
- Client confirmation: Send immediate "your claim is filed" email with next steps
Templates: Claims Documentation Prompts
Phase 2: Active Management
- Adjuster coordination: Notify client of inspection details, what to prepare
- Status updates: Proactive emails at every milestone (inspection complete, estimate received, payment approved)
- Advocacy: If needed, write professional escalation communications to the carrier
Templates: Claims Follow-Up Prompts
Phase 3: Resolution & Follow-Up
- 30-day check-in: How are repairs? Was the payout sufficient?
- Coverage review: Should we adjust coverage based on this experience?
- Referral request: Happy claims clients are your best referral source
