INSURANCE ADJUSTER CLAIM SCOPING
First Claim
1. An electronic insurance claim scoping system, comprising:
- a processor;
an input/output interface coupled to the processor and configured to accept data for processing by the processor and configured to communicate data processed by the processor; and
a memory associated with the processor, the memory including software instructions executable by the processor, the software instructions arranged to direct operations of the electronic insurance claim scoping system via a plurality of modules, the operations including;
receiving insurance claim assignments from a first external system;
for each received insurance claim assignment, checking a second external system for availability of property-specific information associated with the respective received insurance claim assignment;
automatically downloading available property specification information;
accepting an adjuster log-in from a remote device associated with the adjuster;
selecting an insurance claim assigned to the logged-in adjuster;
communicating information associated with the selected insurance claim to the remote device associated with the adjuster;
accepting a loss information report associated with the selected insurance claim, the loss information formed via a scoping application executed on the remote device associated with the adjuster;
the plurality of modules including;
a user management module, the user management module configured to manage individual users of the electronic insurance claim scoping system, the individual users organizable into a plurality of user permission groups; and
a dashboard module, the dashboard module configured to display information to a first user of the electronic insurance claim scoping system based on a membership designation of the first user in at least one of the plurality of user permission groups.

Abstract
An electronic insurance claim scoping method and system are configured to instantiate a scoping software application on a portable computing device used by an insurance claims adjuster. The portable computing device retrieves a record identifying an insurance claim assigned to the claims adjuster wherein the insurance claim is directed to damage to an improvement located on a subject real property. A scope record is presented on a display associated with the portable computing device, and first a plurality of entries of the scope record associated with the insurance claim is populated. From the claims adjuster, the portable computing device accepts user input associated with the subject real property that is associated with the insurance claim. A second plurality of entries of the scope record is populated with information based on user input from the claims adjuster, and the scope record is communicated to a remote computing server.
