A strong provider network program is critical to a property and casualty (P&C) insurers’ cost containment, benefit extension and customer retention strategies. Both in the workers’ compensation and auto casualty markets, one tremendous opportunity to retain customers and maintain a competitive edge comes from the lower claims costs associated with provider bills that fall into provider networks.

The claims process is one of the best opportunities for P&C carriers to provide added value to their policyholders.
