SAN DIEGO, CA—Mitchell, a leading provider of technology, connectivity and information solutions to the Property & Casualty claims and Collision Repair industries, today announced that Cannon Cochran Management Services, Inc. (CCMSI) has been named a 2020 mPower Customer Award winner. CCMSI transformed their businesses through artificial intelligence (AI) to innovate its claims process and dramatically improve accuracy, enabling them to become more efficient, more accurate and more customer focused.
The mPower Customer Award program recognizes industry leaders who transform their businesses through technology or process innovations to help achieve better outcomes for their customers. The award was presented during the company's annual mPower industry conference, held virtually this year.
"CCMSI is a great example how a clear vision and a willingness to make substantial changes can make a difference in serving customers," said Alex Sun, Mitchell President and CEO. "Their efforts deserve to be recognized and shared through this award, and are an example for other organizations looking for ways to improve outcomes."
New AI Model Helped CCMSI Seal the Cracks in the Claims Cycle
CCMSI, a large boutique third-party administrator, was recognized for developing and implementing an innovative AI-driven intervention model designed with one simple goal: to flag at-risk claims for adjusters so nothing falls through the cracks during the claims process.
By expanding their data mining capabilities and then using AI to identify impact factors and automatically alert adjusters, CCMSI saved a significant amount of time and energy. It also allowed them to focus more intently on what they do best: help claimants get back on the job safely and quickly. The model is now being used with several CCMSI customers nationwide and is driving exceptional results.
"Right now AI is preventing claims from falling through the cracks," said Skip Brechtel, CCMSI's Chief Information Officer. "We get daily predictions on every claim. We look for variances between what our adjusters have evaluated the claim to be and how the AI scores the claim. Where there's a variance we want our adjuster and supervisor to review that."
By implementing AI, CCMSI improved their accuracy over legacy analytics by 30%. Read more about this award-winning project on the mPower website.
