Gemini Claims Expert Management Hub - Now Live
Introduction
Following two successful phases of market acceptance testing, the market has signed off the delivery of the Gemini Claims Expert Management Solution (provided by Advent Insurance Management). The solution is now available for carriers to use.
Background
Gemini is being delivered to:
- address the markets lack of data on expert spend (lawyers, loss adjusters, etc.) including what is being spent on experts, where, and with whom?
- provide a platform that enables effective expert management and controls to be in place, including on-boarding, ongoing oversight of claims experts, performance monitoring, ToE, rate cards, etc.
The new platform introduces an effective way of managing and contracting with our experts, allowing one submission by experts working on behalf of multiple carriers. The platform also enhances the oversight and intelligence of an experts performance, to enhance customer outcomes. Gemini enables all of this by introducing structured and real-time data, producing MI to allow expert data and spend to be analysed at a carrier and market aggregate level.
Further information on the background, and what has been built can be found in LMA bulletin LMA18-036-LE from 30 July 2018.
Implementation and Adoption – Managing Agents (MAs) and Experts
This initial delivery enables MAs to:
- register regularly used experts and create a panel centrally
- utilise the functions that support expert on-boarding and registration, due diligence and performance oversight, in addition to providing a document repository for the storage of rate cards and terms of engagement
- utilise monthly/quarterly KPI oversight metrics and monitoring
- utilise a searchable database of all registered experts
- engage with experts to facilitate a supported upload of experts in to Gemini and subsequent use of the platform.
The delivery of phase two in 2019 will enable:
- enhanced and structured claims and fee data capture with a real-time integration (via API) between Gemini & ECF
- the ability for MAs to understand, analyse and report on their expert spend and usage.
