“Canvassing can be one of the most effective ways to paint the most accurate picture of a claimant’s treatment history, so it is a key part of the medical claims assessment process for insurers,” said Steve DeRossett, president, INTERTEL. “Our partnership with Guidewire reinforces our commitment to serving the insurance industry as we continually strive to streamline the claims process for insurers encountering suspicious medical claims.”
With INTERTEL’s Ready for Guidewire integration, claims adjusters can:
- Securely initiate medical canvass requests, saving time as claim information auto-populates, eliminating the need to retype claimant information;
- Track all details related to medical canvass, view status updates and notifications from within ClaimCenter; and
- Securely receive completed medical canvass reports. Completed reports are automatically uploaded to ClaimCenter.
