Claims operations review

A claims operations review is an independent look at how your claims function runs day to day: the workflow, the KPIs, the supplier base, the handovers and the points where cost or service quietly slips. Jam Risk Solutions carries these out for UK insurers and brokers who want a defensible view of operational performance before a board decision, a restructure or a tender. Led end to end by a senior practitioner, not handed to a junior team.

Part of Claims strategy and performance.

Why it matters

An operation looks different from the inside than it does from the board pack. Panel concentration nobody measures, KPI sets that reward speed over recovery quality, broker-supplier loops where loss leaks, single-handler dependencies on the biggest accounts. None of these get caught by averages, and all of them cost money.

What is involved

We agree a one-page scope, then review the operation across workflow, KPIs, supplier concentration, handovers and customer outcomes. We build the views the operation cannot easily produce for itself, such as concentration by cost, volume and complexity, and we write it up in plain terms with a costed fix list.

Health Check 360 is the structured way to start if you want the full diagnostic.

What you walk away with

  • A written view of how the operation actually runs, with the risks and leak points named
  • A costed, sequenced improvement plan you can act on
  • Benchmarking and governance recommendations ready for the board

Who it's for

Claims and operations directors inside insurers and brokers who need an independent read on how the operation performs, and executive teams preparing for a change programme or a deal.

Common questions

Before you engage.

What does a claims operations review cover?

Workflow, KPIs, supplier concentration, handovers and customer outcomes, with the analysis an operation cannot easily produce for itself, ending in a costed, prioritised improvement plan.

Why bring in an independent reviewer rather than use our own team?

Because an internal team looks down through the operation it runs. An independent senior view looks across it, surfaces the patterns internal reporting misses, and gives you an answer that is defensible to a board precisely because it comes from outside.

Will this turn into an open-ended consultancy programme?

No. We scope to a one-page brief and deliver a written, costed answer you can act on. If the scope changes, we re-agree the page.
