Your team processes 50-200 claims emails per day. Manually.
Every email attachment gets downloaded, renamed, figured out, uploaded to the right claim folder, and logged. Multiply that by 50-200 emails per day per team. Regure eliminates 100% of this manual work.
Email was never designed for claims management — but it became the default intake channel
The Daily Email Grind
Claims adjusters start every morning with 30-80 new emails containing claim documents. Each email requires manual processing:
- Open email, identify sender and claim reference
- Download 1-4 attachments per email
- Determine document type (police report? medical record? invoice?)
- Figure out which existing claim file it belongs to (or if it's a new claim)
- Rename files from "IMG_2847.jpg" to something meaningful
- Navigate to the claim folder in the document management system
- Upload each attachment to the correct subfolder
- Log the action in the claims system
- Reply to sender acknowledging receipt
At 3-5 minutes per email, a team processing 50 emails per day wastes 14+ hours per week on email triage alone.
The Hidden Costs
Beyond the wasted time, manual email processing creates compounding problems:
- Lost documents: Attachments get saved to local desktops and never make it to the claim file. When the adjuster goes on vacation, no one else can find them.
- Delayed processing: High-priority documents sit in email queues for hours or days because no one realized they were urgent.
- Duplicate work: The same document arrives via email, fax, and upload portal. Three people process it three times.
- No audit trail: There's no record of when documents arrived, who processed them, or why they were attached to a specific claim.
- Adjuster burnout: Spending hours per day on email busywork instead of actual claims decisions drives turnover.
Email became the path of least resistance — and no one replaced it
Email is Universal
Everyone knows how to send an email with attachments. Claimants, body shops, medical providers, attorneys, field adjusters — they all default to email because it requires zero training and works on every device.
Claims systems tried to build portals and upload forms, but they require accounts, logins, and specific workflows. Email wins on accessibility.
Legacy Systems Don't Integrate
Most claims platforms weren't built to automatically ingest email attachments. They expect documents to be manually uploaded through their UI. There's no API bridge between the email server and the claims system.
So the "integration" is a human being — an adjuster who copies files from one system to another, all day, every day.
Document Classification is Hard
Even if attachments could be automatically extracted, how does the system know what they are? A PDF could be an ACORD form, a repair estimate, a medical bill, a legal notice, or a policy document.
Without AI-powered classification, automation fails — so teams stick with manual review.
Claim Matching is Harder
Documents arrive with inconsistent claim references. Subject lines say "Re: Car accident 2/14" or "Policy #AC-9182" or nothing at all. Matching incoming documents to existing claim files requires human judgment.
Legacy systems can't parse unstructured email text to find claim numbers, so manual matching is the only option.
Automated email-to-claim file creation with AI classification and smart matching
Regure monitors designated claims email inboxes (claims@yourcompany.com, fnol@yourcompany.com, etc.) and automatically processes every incoming message. Here's exactly how it works:
1. Automatic Email Monitoring
Regure connects to your email server via IMAP or Exchange and monitors designated inboxes 24/7. When a new email arrives with attachments, Regure extracts:
- All attachments (PDF, JPG, PNG, DOCX, etc.)
- Sender information (email, name, organization)
- Subject line and email body text
- Timestamp and thread metadata
See Document Processing for details on supported formats.
2. AI Document Classification
Every attachment is classified using insurance-specific AI models trained on millions of claims documents. Regure identifies:
- ACORD forms (25, 27, 28, etc.) with field-level extraction
- Medical records (progress notes, diagnostic reports, bills)
- Invoices and estimates (repair shops, contractors, medical providers)
- Photos and evidence (scene photos, damage documentation)
- Legal documents (demand letters, releases, subrogation notices)
- Policy documents (declarations pages, endorsements)
Classification accuracy exceeds 96% on insurance documents. Unrecognized documents are flagged for human review.
3. Smart Claim Matching
Regure analyzes the email subject, body, sender, and document contents to match attachments to existing claim files. The matching logic checks:
- Claim numbers in subject line or email body
- Policy numbers extracted from documents
- Claimant names and contact information
- Loss dates and locations
- Vehicle VINs or property addresses
If a match is found, documents are attached to the existing claim. If no match exists and the email appears to be First Notice of Loss (FNOL), Regure creates a new claim file automatically.
4. Automatic Filing and Logging
Once classified and matched, documents are:
- Renamed using your naming conventions (CLM-2847_Police_Report_2024-02-14.pdf)
- Filed in the correct claim folder and subfolder (Police Reports, Medical, Photos, etc.)
- Tagged with metadata (document type, received date, source, sender)
- Logged in the immutable audit trail with timestamp and attribution
- Made searchable via full-text OCR and metadata indexing
The entire process — from email arrival to document filed — takes seconds. No human intervention required.
5. Notifications and Exceptions
Adjusters are notified when:
- High-priority documents arrive (legal notices, subpoenas, urgent medical)
- New claims are created from FNOL emails
- Documents can't be classified with high confidence (manual review needed)
- Claim matching is ambiguous (multiple possible matches)
Adjusters work by exception — reviewing only the 5-10% of cases that need human judgment — instead of processing 100% of incoming emails manually.
6. Integration with Claims Systems
Regure integrates with Guidewire, Duck Creek, Sapiens, Applied Epic, and other core systems via RESTful APIs. When a document is filed in Regure, the claims system is updated automatically with:
- Document received confirmation
- Document type and description
- Link to view the document in Regure
- Extracted data fields (claim number, dates, amounts)
No duplicate data entry. No context switching between systems. See Claims Automation for integration details.
Zero manual email processing. Documents filed in seconds, not minutes.
Zero manual download, rename, classify, and upload work. Adjusters never touch email attachments.
14+ hours per week redirected from email busywork to actual claims decisions and customer communication.
AI correctly identifies document types 96.8% of the time. Only 3-5% require human review.
Average processing time from email arrival to document filed in claim folder: 8 seconds.
No more attachments saved to local desktops. Every document is centrally filed with full audit trail.
New claims created automatically from FNOL emails, reducing intake time from 45 minutes to 18 minutes.
Real-World Example: Regional Health TPA
A 45-person health insurance TPA was processing 180-220 claims emails per day across three adjusters. Each email took 3-4 minutes to process manually. Total time cost: 18-22 hours per day.
After implementing Regure's email-to-claim automation:
- 100% of routine emails processed automatically (medical bills, progress notes, referrals)
- Adjusters review only flagged exceptions (~15 emails/day requiring judgment)
- Time savings: 17 hours/day redirected to case management and member communication
- Claims cycle time reduced from 14 days to 9 days due to faster document intake
- Zero lost documents (previously 2-3 per week went missing in email)
"We went from 14 hours a week sorting documents to zero. Regure handles it all automatically. The demo showed us exactly how it would work with our carrier integrations and HIPAA requirements." — Sarah Chen, VP Operations
