Electronic ClaimsAgenda
• ECF is Live
• Why do we need an ECF?
• Contractual Framework, Training and Governance
• ECF not happening in Isolation
• What are the Future Plans?
• A&S Latest – Direct Load and Email live/ DRI in MAT
• Next steps

Electronic Claims
Implementation
– ECF went live over the weekend of 9th / 10th September
– 111 Partnerships operational (across Lloyds and IUA)
– Volumes (over 2000 total transactions processed)
– + IUA pilot started includes Global Aerospace, Liberty, Markel,
Munich Re, Swiss Re, XL, Zurich, Score, Faraday (till Dec 2006)
• Project Approach
– Big bang hasn’t worked in the past
– Partnerships decide to sign up when ready
– Early implementers – lessons learnt
– BEFIT and ECPG working closely with BP&CM to ensure project success
ECF is Live

Page 10
Electronic ClaimsECF Live Project Scope
• Partnerships
– Firms decide partnerships by class of business / trading relationships
– With Lloyd’s and IUA carriers and XCS
– MRPO is monitoring progress
• New claims and their subsequent transactions
– Existing paper based claims (legacy) to be tackled later
• System Processes and Procedures (SP&P)
– Some areas are currently excluded from scope
– February CR’s will address some of these e.g. Binders; Direct Reporting
– See SP&P for full list of areas in scope
• Base camp
– Remember Phase 5 was always meant to be ‘base camp’
– Further improvements will be made

Electronic ClaimsCurrent High Priority Issue
• Contractual Framework
– Needs to be signed up by all participants (ECF and A&S) who wish to use the Repository from day one (brokers and managing agents).
– Framework made up of Repository Rules and Xchanging side letter to sign. It is legally binding.
– Repository Rules cover important topics, such as:-– License to use and access documents
– Unintentional disclosure
– Authentication of users
– Governance
– Law and Jurisdiction
– Pack to be sent out later once all details are finalised - real drive to get all committed parties to sign up to side letter and rules………
Mark

Page 13
Electronic ClaimsOther Immediate Next Steps
• Repository Rules to be agreed and distributed to firms
• November Release to fix faults (minor) found in Phase 5 MAT.
• Continue to ramp up on and support new Live partnerships
• Expected delivery of signed-off Phase 6 Business Design into MAT early Q1 2007.
• Current live implementations aimed for end Feb – beginning March 2007.
• Things change and we won’t have thought of everything
• There will be more issues and enhancements

Electronic Claims
What will the claims infrastructure in the London Market look like in 5 years?
– ECIS Group formed included representation from Brokers; LMA & IUA
– Met between March and June 2006 and drafted the ‘Green Paper’
– Green Paper provides a high level end vision (3-5 yrs) for the claims infrastructure in the London Market
– Peer to Peer ACORD messaging will be the norm
• ECIS Subgroup formed to discuss the end vision in more detail (July to October)
• This subgroup drafted A&S Claims Process Flows document (Peer to Peer claims messages)
• Describes when the different types of ACORD claim messages will be sent /received
• Highlights the implementation issues to be addressed e.g Transition/Legacy
• More detailed work will be required by the early implementers of the end vision
Claims Infrastructure Strategy
Mark

Page 16
Electronic ClaimsContext - Restatement of overall A&S Objectives
• Rationalise and streamline business processes, specifically:
–Speed up premium and claims payment
–Remove reliance on paper
–Reduce errors and reconciliation by capturing richer data once
–Enable back office rationalisation
– Introduce flexibility - process the way the business requires rather than the business being driven by constraints
• Implement international standards for the communication and processing of accounting & settlement data (the ACORD XML RLC standards)
• Provide a firm base for the future
Mark

Page 17
Electronic ClaimsRepository
• Broker loads slip, LPANs and supporting documentation to repository thereby removing paper (and vans)
– Three methods:– Direct Load– Email– DRI Message
• Carriers can gain access and view and download documents
• DRI enabled repository that also enables direct loading and enquiries to:
–deliver documents to Xchanging Ins-Sure Services for checking
–deliver documents directly between brokers and carriers i.e. in support of non-bureau or P2P processes
Mark

Page 18
Electronic ClaimsRepository Benefits and Implications
• Faster turnaround times for documentation since “van time” is eliminated.
• No “van time” and speedier query resolution means signed lines available quicker
• Speedier resolution of queries will reduce the volume of rejections
• DRI functionality consistent with ECF. Brokers have options on how to connect, DRI Push, DRI Pull or Direct load (or additionally email for delivery to Xchanging for checking)
• Gives insurers access to a copy of the slip and other premium submission documentation in the repository
• Carriers can be notified as a slip is loaded on the repository thereby allowing signed lines to be communicated sooner, thus allowing speedier exposure management
• Utility function of the repository, without XIS processing, allows broker to distribute documents in a controlled manner to specified parties

Electronic ClaimsRepository Timescales
• Project documentation signed off – on target by end of April 2006
• Build time - this is being delivered in three releases

– Around 2,300 transactions processed since the ‘go-live’ weekend of the 9/10th September.
• Release 2 – DRI Functionality
– MAT Date – Ongoing at present
– Go live Date – November 2006
• Release 3 – Utility Repository

A&S – Publication of Design and Measurement Update
Brian Austin / 25th October 2006
Mark
et
Refo

Page 24
Publication of A&S Strategy Design
• MRG approval to publish now received
• Business Design and supporting Technical Information with covering letter
• Context is three work streams:
– Measurement
– Insurers’ Market Repository
– End Vision
Mark
et
Refo
rm
Page 25
Documentation Key Points
• Concentrates on End Vision – full implementation of electronic processing using ACORD messaging
• Deliberately bold
• Few caveats why difficult or slow to be realised
• Not prescriptive on implementation paths
• Optional implementation paths for trading partners to select
• Will influence Reform agenda for 2007, including e:placing and e:claims
Mark
et
Refo
rm
Page 26
Key Issues
• Use or otherwise of “post placement” message – use of such a message will be optional for implementers of P2P framework
• Claims processing – documentation illustrates how approach to A&S and claims processing can be consistent with hubs and existing claims schemes
• Statistical and regulatory data – Lloyd’s is working with managing agents in this area
Mark
et
Refo
rm
Page 27
Use of the Documentation
• Highlights process flows and message types
• Not a formal technical design – it is for each firm to produce their own
• Set against the context of the other Reforms, eg IMR LPAN, firms should:
– Assess impact on current process and evolve new ones
– Investigate message transport mechanisms
– Consider document repository interoperability and its implications
– Familiarise with referenced ACORD documentation
– Develop a clear strategy for business units and systems to improve A&S processes
Mark

Refo

Page 28
A&S Measurement Regime
• Sponsored by A&S Project Board
• Aim to create transparency of today’s paper process
• Publish XIS checks as applied today
• Capture data from XIS and analyse Market performance eg
– de-linking take up,
– quality of broker submission,
– timeliness, eg unwelcome trends (eg submit close to SDD)
• Identify quick wins and educate to improve performance as a prelude to:
– A&S implementation proper
– Use of ACORD messages
– Validation at source in broker systems

SLIDE 36
ACORD View of London Roadmap
ISSUES Achieving standardisation of processes Achieving market consensus Managing transition from pure
bureaux-based processing to a mixture of bureaux and direct processing
Nervousness in capital investment for centralised technology
Legacy systems / lack of systems Alignment of implementation priorities
SLIDE 37
