Ushur Improves Short-Term Disability Absence Processes

— September 13, 2024 — Tech
Ushur has introduced an AI-powered self-service platform designed to improve the short-term disability absence process for insurance carriers. By automating critical communications and information sharing, this solution aims to address inefficiencies caused by manual data collection and follow-ups that often delay claims and frustrate employees. The AI-powered self-service platform allows carriers to guide claimants through each stage of the short-term disability journey, gather necessary data, and reduce manual intervention.

Key features in Ushur's solution include proactive communication with employees and employers, secure handling of sensitive information through HIPAA-compliant channels, and automated claim processing steps, such as collecting e-signatures and authorizations. It also offers real-time updates to both parties on the claim's progress. This approach improves the customer experience while also reducing the burden on staff and boosting operational efficiency.

With real-world examples showing a significant reduction in processing time and increased customer satisfaction scores, the solution is positioned as a practical way to modernize and streamline the short-term disability absence management process.
