Claims

By the time a claim arrives, you already know a lot about the person filing it.

ForMotiv reads how a loss is reported, not just what is reported, and connects it to everything the claimant did from quote to FNOL. Fast-track the honest majority, stop takeover before payout and give SIU the session evidence to act on the rest.

      Early-term claims

      Some early claims were predictable the day the policy was bought.

      The way someone buys a policy often predicts how soon they claim on it. Policies flagged for risky buying behavior file early claims far more often than the rest of the book.

      Account takeover before payout

      Takeover usually shows up right before the money moves.

      An attacker doesn’t need to invent a loss. Through social engineering schemes, they get the policyholder’s credentials, or the policyholder themselves, to redirect the payout. Passwords, one-time codes and knowledge checks can all pass. Behavior is what doesn’t match.

      Phishing

      Credentials harvested by a fake carrier message

      An email or text that looks like it came from the carrier collects the login. The attacker signs in with the real password.

      What ForMotiv seesA login from a device and network the policyholder has never used, then a direct path to payout details.

      Impersonation

      Posing as the policyholder to reset access

      The attacker contacts support as the policyholder to reset the password or change the email on file.

      What ForMotiv seesThe next portal session doesn’t behave like any session before it on the account.

      SIM swap & MFA interception

      One-time codes sent to the attacker

      The policyholder’s number is moved to the attacker’s phone, so multi-factor checks pass.

      What ForMotiv seesAuthentication succeeds, but behavior after login is unfamiliar with the account and moves straight to money.

      Coached policyholder

      A real policyholder, talked through by a scammer

      A fake adjuster or support agent walks the policyholder through changing payout details over the phone.

      What ForMotiv seesThe right person with the wrong intent: dictated pacing, pasted bank details and unusual navigation.

      Hold the payout change and step up verification before the money moves.

      Fast-track

      Most claimants are honest. They should get paid faster.

      When every claim waits in the same queue, genuine customers pay for the few who aren’t. Behavioral context lets you clear the clean claims straight through and spend adjuster and SIU time where the signals are.

        Every channel

        Claims don’t only arrive through a web form

        Claimants report online, in chat, on the phone and through their agents. The behavioral record follows them, so whoever takes the claim sees what the claimant just did.

        FAQ

        Frequently asked questions

        How does ForMotiv help insurance claims teams?

        ForMotiv brings application and account behavior into the claims process and reads behavior in the claim itself, so claims teams can fast-track genuine claims and send risky ones for review before payment.

        What claims use cases does ForMotiv cover?

        Claims use cases include FNOL fraud, early claims shortly after bind, account takeover before a payout, group benefits claims fraud, and SIU and Forensics investigations.

        What are early claims?

        Early claims are claims filed shortly after a policy is bound. ForMotiv connects how the policy was bought to the claim that follows, which helps identify policies bought with a loss already in mind.

        How does ForMotiv detect account takeover before a claim payout?

        ForMotiv flags high-risk behavior after login and ahead of a payout, using behavioral data captured in the session and the rest of the policy's record, so carriers can verify before money moves.

        Does ForMotiv slow down genuine claims?

        No. Because most claimants behave as expected, carriers can use ForMotiv to move genuine claims faster and focus reviews where the behavior warrants it.
