Legal expense and performance management

While some carriers have implemented successful legal e-billing programs, only recently has this technology become available for these other vendor providers, enabling improved compliance with guidelines and speeding up bill submissions and payments.

Both carriers and vendors benefit through strengthened relationships, improved workflow, faster turnaround time and, for the carrier, a database of ‘vendor experience’ which helps to refine and streamline the panel of vendors used. Additionally, this management information can greatly aid the process of vendor assignment through enabling an intelligent choice of provider.

Programs associated with legal spend management invariably have a very substantial positive ROI, and programs for independent adjusters have even better outcomes.  Allegient Systems has been providing independent adjuster and legal bill review capabilities for many years, providing services to over 50 Property and Casualty companies in the United States and Canada.
