Managing insurance claims recoveries can be daunting for many businesses. Delinquencies in insurance claims can cause significant cash flow issues, and recovering those funds can be time-consuming, expensive, and inefficient, especially without the right tools. Therefore, outsourcing debt collection to a professional agency is an efficient and cost-effective solution for managing insurance claims recoveries.
Why Outsource Insurance Claims Recovery?
Outsourcing insurance claims recovery offers numerous advantages, from reducing costs to improving recovery rates. Here’s a closer look at the key benefits:
1. Reduce Collections Costs
Recovering past-due insurance claims involves a comprehensive process that requires hiring and training full-time collection staff. This often means diverting employees from other departments, which can be costly and inefficient. Outsourcing to a first-party vendor like Fusion CX saves you these expenses. In fact, companies that outsource debt collection save up to 40% on operational costs compared to maintaining an in-house team.
Scalability: Outsourcing allows scalability, accommodating the ebbs and flows of your delinquent accounts queue without additional internal resources. This flexibility can significantly reduce your overall collection costs.
2. Reduce Delinquency Rates
Professional debt collection agencies employ specialists with the skills and experience to decrease delinquency rates effectively. You can ensure more consistent and efficient collections with a full-time staff dedicated to recovering past-due insurance claims. Outsourced debt collection agencies typically achieve a 20-30% increase in recovered funds compared to in-house efforts.
Best Practices: These agencies implement proven strategies to enhance collection rates and handle various situations professionally and courteously. They use tactics designed to bring delinquent accounts up-to-date, preventing unwanted problems before they escalate.
3. Improve Collection Time
Instead of relying on a small team to split their time between collections and other tasks, outsourcing provides access to an external team that dedicates 100% of its efforts to recovering debts. Automation and advanced technologies used by professional agencies can increase collection efficiency by up to 35%.
Shorter Collections Cycle: At Fusion CX, our team ensures increased focus and time dedicated to collections, creating a shorter collections cycle and reducing the time spent on delinquent accounts.
4. Enhanced Collection Rates
A significant benefit of outsourcing is the improved collection success rate. Advanced automation enables agents to make more calls per hour, utilizing AI and machine learning to optimize the call process. This efficiency leads to higher recovery rates, as the automation and advanced technologies used by professional agencies can increase collection efficiency by up to 35%.
Higher Success Rates: We offer higher collection rates than most providers, especially regarding the number of borrowers reached. Efficient dialing strategies and the right technology help generate more revenue.
5. Increased Productivity
Time spent on collections is time not spent on processing new insurance claims or providing customer service. Outsourcing allows your staff to focus on their primary roles, dedicating more time and resources to achieving strategic goals.
Operational Efficiency: Outsourcing ensures various dimensions are taken care of, including better customer service, improved brand availability, processing and closing, revenue generation opportunities, and cross-selling and up-selling products.
