P&C Insurer Cuts Claims Processing Time by 75% with Smart Contracts
Industry: Property & Casualty Insurance
Client Overview: A mid-sized, regional P&C insurer was struggling with high overhead and slow processing times for auto insurance claims. Their manual, paper-based workflow was prone to errors, fraud, and resulted in poor customer satisfaction scores. They needed a way to automate verification and accelerate payouts without compromising security.
"The efficiency gains were immediate and profound. What used to take our team two weeks of back-and-forth can now be settled in under an hour. Errna didn't just build a solution; they transformed our core operations."
- Michael Harper, Head of Claims, Regional P&C Carrier
Problem
The client's claims process involved multiple departments, external repair shops, and third-party adjusters, all communicating through email and phone. This led to significant delays, data silos, and a high potential for fraudulent claims, costing them an estimated $5M annually in operational waste and fraud.
Key Challenges
- Excessive manual data entry and verification.
- Lack of a single source of truth for claim status.
- Difficulty in detecting sophisticated fraud patterns.
- Lengthy settlement cycles leading to customer churn.
Our Solution
We developed a permissioned blockchain solution on Hyperledger Fabric to create a shared, immutable ledger for all claim-related information. The core of the solution was a set of smart contracts designed to automate the claims workflow:
- FNOL data was instantly recorded on the blockchain via a mobile app.
- Smart contracts automatically verified policy coverage and cross-referenced data with external oracles (e.g., weather, traffic reports).
- Repair estimates from approved vendors were submitted directly to the ledger, triggering automatic approval for standard repairs.
- Settlement payments were automatically triggered once all conditions of the smart contract were met.
Positive Outcomes
Health Insurance Consortium Achieves Interoperability with a Permissioned Blockchain
Industry: Health Insurance
Client Overview: A consortium of three competing health insurers and a major hospital network wanted to streamline provider data management and credentialing. Each entity maintained its own separate database, leading to redundant work, data inconsistencies, and months-long delays in updating provider information, which impacted claims processing and network accuracy.
"For the first time, we have a trusted, shared view of our provider network. The administrative burden has been lifted, and we can now onboard new physicians in days, not months. This was a game-changer for our operational efficiency."
- Dr. Evelyn Morton, Chief Medical Officer, Metro Health System
Problem
The lack of a shared, trusted system for provider data meant that each insurer had to independently conduct a lengthy and expensive credentialing process. This inefficiency not only increased costs but also created a poor experience for healthcare providers and risked regulatory fines for inaccurate provider directories.
Key Challenges
- Data silos preventing efficient information sharing.
- High costs and long delays associated with provider credentialing.
- Risk of data inconsistencies leading to claim denials.
- Maintaining data security and privacy between competing organizations.
Our Solution
We designed and built a consortium blockchain using R3 Corda, a platform ideal for regulated industries. The solution allowed members to share and attest to provider credentialing data without revealing sensitive competitive information:
- A "digital twin" for each healthcare provider was created on the ledger, containing verified credentials (e.g., medical license, board certifications).
- Once one insurer in the consortium verified a credential, it was recorded on the blockchain with a cryptographic signature, making it available to all other permissioned members.
- Smart contracts managed data access rules, ensuring that members could only see the data they were authorized to view.
- The solution provided an immutable audit trail of every change to a provider's record, simplifying compliance and reporting.
Positive Outcomes
Global Reinsurer Eliminates Reconciliation Errors with a Distributed Ledger
Industry: Reinsurance
Client Overview: A top-10 global reinsurance company was spending thousands of man-hours each quarter reconciling accounts with its ceding insurers. The process relied on exchanging large, complex spreadsheets, which often contained discrepancies in premium calculations and claims allocations, leading to payment delays and disputes.
"The quarterly reconciliation process used to be our biggest operational headache. With Errna's DLT solution, it's now a non-event. The data is always accurate, always in sync. It has fundamentally improved our relationship with our partners."
- Thomas Lamb, CFO, Global Reinsurance Partners
Problem
The reliance on manual reconciliation created a massive administrative burden and a lack of real-time visibility into risk exposure. A single error in a spreadsheet could cascade through the system, taking weeks to identify and resolve, impacting liquidity and straining partner relationships.
Key Challenges
- Time-consuming and error-prone manual data reconciliation.
- Lack of real-time visibility into shared policies and claims.
- Disputes and payment delays caused by data discrepancies.
- High administrative costs associated with managing accounts.
Our Solution
We implemented a distributed ledger technology (DLT) solution that provided a shared, real-time accounting system for the reinsurer and a pilot group of its ceding partners:
- Policies and endorsements were registered as digital assets on the ledger, creating a single, agreed-upon record.
- Smart contracts automatically calculated and allocated premiums and claims according to the terms of the reinsurance treaty.
- All parties had a real-time, permissioned view of the same data, eliminating the need for separate ledgers and subsequent reconciliation.
- The platform automated the cash settlement process, triggering payments when financial thresholds were met, improving cash flow for all participants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We have answers. Here are some of the most common inquiries we receive from insurance leaders about implementing blockchain.
A public blockchain (like Bitcoin) is open for anyone to join and view. This is not suitable for the insurance industry due to data privacy and confidentiality requirements. We exclusively build on private, permissioned blockchains (like Hyperledger Fabric or R3 Corda). In this model, you control exactly who can join the network, what data they can see, and what actions they can perform. This ensures enterprise-grade security and compliance with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.
We don't believe in a "rip and replace" approach. Our strategy is centered on seamless integration. We build secure APIs and middleware that act as a bridge between the blockchain network and your existing core administration systems, policy management software, and claims databases. This allows you to leverage the benefits of blockchain for specific processes (like claims verification) while your core systems continue to operate as the primary system of record.
A smart contract is a self-executing contract with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. It's like a digital vending machine. For insurance, a smart contract for a travel policy could be coded with the rule: "IF the flight is delayed more than 3 hours (verified by a trusted flight data source), THEN automatically transfer the payout amount to the policyholder's account." This removes the need for manual claims filing and assessment, making the process instant, transparent, and error-free.
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the use case. However, our agile approach is designed for speed. A typical engagement follows this path: a 4-6 week Discovery and Feasibility phase, followed by an 8-12 week Proof-of-Concept (PoC) build. A full Minimum Viable Product (MVP) can often be developed and integrated within 6-9 months. We prioritize delivering value incrementally so you can see results quickly.
While no technology is a silver bullet, blockchain makes fraudulent activities significantly more difficult and easier to detect. By creating an immutable, shared record of all transactions and claims, it becomes nearly impossible to alter documents or file duplicate claims without being immediately discovered by the network. It creates a level of transparency and auditability that is a powerful deterrent and detection tool, drastically reducing the most common types of claims fraud.
The cost depends on factors like the chosen platform, complexity of the smart contracts, and the number of integrations required. We provide transparent pricing based on our engagement models. A Proof-of-Concept can range from $50,000 to $150,000, while a full enterprise MVP typically starts around $250,000. We always provide a detailed proposal with a clear cost breakdown after our initial discovery phase, ensuring there are no surprises.
