First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for automating insurance claim processing, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining at least one rule from historical data;
using the at least one rule to segment a dataset, wherein segmenting the dataset comprises using an iterative process, and wherein the iterative process comprises a decision tree;
using the segmented dataset to determine if a claim can be automatically settled; and
automatically settling a claim if it is determined that the claim can be automatically settled.
