aligned with available staff - Build individual claim models based on the claimants’ characteristics and history
- Identify claims that are at risk of never returning to work and claims that have a high risk of pursuing common law,for targeted intervention from experienced claims
- Benchmark service provider effectiveness and operational outcomes, to improve the value delivered by providers as well as identify those providers who are best at helping injured workers get back to work faster.

Case study / Insurer
The client's challenge
A major government insurer wanted to benchmark their operational expenses against other comparable schemes in Australia and overseas
What Finity did
An expense 'baseline' for the insurer was established after analysing a detailed breakdown of historical and current operating expenses. A similar process was then undertaken for 20 other comparable schemes both locally and globally.
Result
Our study identified where the insurer sat relative to other schemes in terms of operational efficiency. We identified best practice and provided timelines for how quickly the insurer might be expected to move towards these improved outcomes.
Focus on Mental Health
Our extensive research confirms mental health claims are different from other personal injury or illness claims, requiring different approaches to deliver optimal outcomes. We can help you refine your operations and improve outcomes.
