  • Patent number: 11551308
    Abstract: Methods, non-transitory machine readable media, and network stack analysis devices that generate optimized preferred provider organization (PPO) network stacks are disclosed. With this technology, electronic transactions are applied to each of a first plurality of network stacks to determine a cost reduction value for each of the first network stacks. Each of the first network stacks includes an ordered subset of networks. The first network stacks are resampled based on the determined cost reduction values. A determination is made when one or more convergence criteria are met by the resampled first network stacks. When the determination indicates that the convergence criteria are not met by the resampled first network stacks, one or more of the first network stacks are modified based on genetic crossover or mutation operation(s) to generate a second plurality of network stacks. The application, resampling, and determination are then repeated for the second network stacks.

  • Patent number: 11488117
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automating the process of determining non-reusable parts associated with replacement or repair of a primary part of a vehicle involved in a collision event. The primary parts to be repaired may be indicated in repair estimate record. Notably, replacement of some primary parts may require replacement of certain non-reusable parts (NRPs) that were not damaged during the collision event and are not identified as such. The method determines which NRPs are required to be replaced when repairing the primary damaged part by using repair documents specifying repair instructions for repairing the primary part. Further, the repair estimate record is updated to include the information related to the primary pars and their associated NRPs.

  • Publication number: 20220222752
    Abstract: Vehicle insurance claim data is categorized into a plurality of strata. The categorized vehicle insurance claim data is mapped to corresponding geographic regions and aggregated. When the number of samples in the aggregated data meets a sampling threshold size, the aggregated data is clustered into clusters based on certain criteria and sampled to generate component synthetic peer data sets. A synthetic peer data set is generated by applying a bootstrap aggregation machine learning algorithm on the plurality of component synthetic peer data sets. The performance of a target vehicle insurance company is analyzed by comparing target vehicle insurance claim data of the target vehicle insurance company with the synthetic peer data set. The results of the comparison between the target vehicle insurance claim data and the synthetic peer are presented in a graphical representation.
