Atlanta, GA – September 2, 2009 – Connecture, Inc., the leading provider of web-based sales, service, and process automation solutions to the health insurance industry, announced today that Bob Barry, SVP of Product and Market Strategy at Connecture, along with Seth Crawford, Vice President, BCBS/BCN of Michigan, will be presenting “The Benefits of Underwriting Tools” at the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association 2009 National Finance, Actuarial & Underwriting Conference, in Boston, MA.
The presentation, on Thursday, September 10th at 3:45 ET, will discuss how underwriting automation in the individual, small group, and large group markets benefits the insured, the client, and the insurer. “In any regulatory environment, including guarantee issue, capturing health information on prospective insureds allows you to mitigate risks through early intervention and by leveraging disease management programs,” commented Barry. “Underwriting automation drives consistency and data capture which improves reporting and analytics capabilities.”
Connecture’s InsureConnect Underwriting capabilities decrease the lengthy, paper-intensive underwriting process while improving the quality and accuracy of individual and group information and risk assessment.
The software includes automated underwriting capabilities, as well as administrative tools, so authorized underwriters can review and adjust cases, including manual changes, overrides, and debit assignment. Ultimately, the system allows for straight-through processing with low touch or no touch, enabling significant expense reduction.
