Company background
AXA is a leading insurer providing retail, health, and P&C insurance products. Part of the global AXA Group, AXA Thailand’s mission is to achieve sustainability and prosperity for its customers through diversified and comprehensive insurance products to reach all of its customer’s needs.
The Challenge
AXA had expressed a need to drastically improve its claim processes to improve customer experience, staff efficiency, and overall business performance. Current manual processes resulted in a backlog of claims, while AXA was looking for a scalable solution that could be easily integrated within their ecosystem, setting the stage for future improvements.
The Solution
AXA has adopted the CoverGo for Health platform. The platform being modular, AXA adopted the Claims module of the platform that will be integrated within their existing ecosystem.
This module enables AXA to now process claims digitally. Through a digital provider portal, hospitals are able to view member information, policy and benefit quotas, create claims seamlessly. Through the Claims portal, AXA claims staff can process claims digitally (including individual and batch creation, settlement, investigation, alert creation, tracking, document management, and more), while some processes are now automated.
CoverGo for Health platform also sets the stage for future improvements within AXA’s health ecosystem, since the platform has end to end features from product building, distribution, and policy administration.
