Claims Workflow Map

A practical framework for mapping claims intake, decisions, handoffs, exceptions, and evidence.

1. States

List the meaningful claim states from first notice through closure, reopening, payment, denial, litigation, recovery, or other end states.

2. Entry criteria

Define what information or evidence is required to move a claim into each state.

3. Decision owner

Identify which role or system can make each decision and where approvals or separation of duties apply.

4. Automation candidates

Identify validations, routing, reminders, document requests, calculations, or low-risk decisions that may be automated.

5. Exception paths

Document missing information, coverage ambiguity, fraud indicators, high severity, complaints, litigation, or other cases that need special routing.

6. Audit trail

Specify timestamps, reason codes, documents, overrides, approvals, communications, and user/system actions needed for reconstruction.

Important: The correct actuarial, legal, regulatory, privacy, security, accounting, or other specialist review depends on the actual use case and jurisdiction.
