  • Patent number: 8401896
    Abstract: An insurance claim processing system may include an insurance claim database and an automated task processor. The insurance claim database may be configured to store and provide access to data in a data record that is related to an insurance claim. The automated task processor may be executable with a computer to identify an insurance claim processing task from the insurance claim database, and obtain insurance claim data related to the identified insurance claim processing task. The automated task processor may also select an action plan from an action plan database based on the obtained insurance claim data. The automated task processor may also identify a set of one or more automated procedures included in the action plan, and cause execution of the identified set of procedures included in the action plan.

  • Patent number: 8180668
    Abstract: An insurance claim processing system may include an insurance claim database, an event processor component, a task engine component and a collaborative intelligent task processor. The insurance claim database may be configured to store and provide access to data in a data record that is related to an insurance claim. The event processor component may be executable with a computer to iteratively monitor the data in the data record and identify events. The task engine component may be executable with a computer in response to one of the identified events to generate tasks indicative of information that needs to be acquired based on the contents of the data record. The collaborative intelligent task processor may be executable with a computer to analyze a task generated by the task engine component and select an action plan that is responsive to the task.

  • Patent number: 7584107
    Abstract: A defined contribution benefits tool having various embodiments interfaces employers, employees, brokers and benefits suppliers. Suppliers provide product information. An employer creates an employer profile indicating the categories of benefits to offer, which categories are required, which categories the employer will contribute to, and the contribution range for the categories. Based on the profile (and from other available products), a portfolio recommendation that essentially meets the requirements is generated. Based on the portfolio recommendation, the employer chooses a set of products as its benefits portfolio. Employees create an employee profile allocating the total employer contribution among a set of benefit categories. A package recommendation that essentially meets the requirements set forth in the employee's profile is generated. From this recommendation (and from other available products), the employee chooses his or her benefits package.
