Computer use for insurance operations
Gather claim-status evidence across permitted portals without delegating adjudication.
Define the job
For each authorized claim identifier, collect the displayed status, status date, and any permitted follow-up reference. Produce an exception queue for missing, conflicting, or ambiguous records. This scope is administrative status retrieval, not coverage or payment determination.
Should this use computer use at all?
Use a carrier-supported integration or batch status exchange where it covers the need. Reserve interface automation for specific portal gaps, and document which fields the portal actually makes available.
API vs. computer use →Architecture options
Carrier-specific deterministic adapters
Use explicit flows for high-volume known portals. Normalize the observed fields into a shared schema while retaining the original carrier label so a broad internal category does not erase a meaningful status distinction.
Adaptive exception retrieval
Evaluate an agent for less consistent navigation, restricted to the supplied claim identifier and approved portal. Require evidence for the matched claim before collecting its status.
Failure modes & approval
Where the workflow can break
- A claim number may need additional account or date context to identify the correct record.
- Status labels from different carriers may not have equivalent meanings.
- Repeated access can encounter session expiry or portal restrictions; retries need an explicit permitted policy.
Human approval point
Review ambiguous matches and conflicting statuses. Submitting an appeal, changing a claim, or accepting an offer is outside this retrieval workflow and requires separate authority.
