e-Claims Boasts 96% Asbestos Claim Accuracy

Claims Resolution Management Corp., a Fairfax, Va.-based firm specializing in claims resolution, reports that users of e-Claims, an interactive, Web-based claims filing, processing and payment system for trusts, law firms and companies handling asbestos and other toxic torts, have achieved a 95.86% accuracy rate. Of the nearly 8,500 asbestos claims CRMC audited, less than 350 required modifications. E-Claims works by analyzing responses by certified users to questions regarding a claim and its supporting documents, comparing the claim to pre-established medical and exposure criteria, and assigning the highest categorization for which the claim is eligible. If medical submissions are required, the request is posted to a law firm-specific message board for review. As soon as the additional information is received, the offer is completed. Users can either accept or reject the offer. The company's Web site is www.claimsres.com.
