ICW Group Insurance Companies Reduces the Pain of Surgery Recovery with Surgery Concierge Service
In the workers' compensation insurance market, patients approved for surgery are frequently left to fend for themselves without nurse oversight. Mitchell worked with ICW Group to help identify areas for increased efficiencies when serving patients. Leveraging ICW group feedback and evaluating the needs of our global customer base, Mitchell was able to implement a series of solutions which now form the core of Mitchell's Surgery Concierge service. The implementation of Surgery Concierge resulted in positive outcomes for many of the parties involved in the claims process. ICW group reported finding that overall, patients were less stressed and felt better cared for, making it a better surgical experience. The burden on claims adjusters was also lifted as they saw patients were receiving expert support from nurse case managers who could resolve issues on the medical care side. By proactively looking for solutions, ICW Group was able to help improve their business and their customers' experience.

Texas Farm Bureau Puts Customer Service in the Driver's Seat with Improved Workflow Processing
For more than 50 years, families have relied on Texas Farm Bureau Insurance to help them manage risk in their everyday lives. The company occupies a unique market position with multi-line adjusters, serving all 254 counties in Texas. Like many insurers in recent years, Texas Farm Bureau was experiencing challenges in maintaining high customer service levels due to increasingly complex technical processes. Along with their seasoned adjusters, they took a hard look at all of their processes to determine where improvements would have the biggest impact on efficiency while also improving service. They made several changes, including moving to a single vendor for parts sourcing and scheduling. Within six months, they were able to streamline their processes and train adjusters in a consistent, proven methodology. Collectively, the process enhancements implemented by the insurer improved their ability to service their customers during peak times while reducing claims cost management across the board.
