Improve claims service and reduce costs with SCAP

LIIBA’s Claims Operations Liaison Group (COLG) has, along with the markets’ other trade associations, conducted a review on the usage of the single claim agreement party (SCAP) process. The conclusion of the review is that, where utilised, SCAP can reduce claim agreement times substantially. However, since its launch in 2018, uptake has been mixed with only two broking firms utilising regularly.

Having undertaken the review, a number of areas were identified for improvement with the primary one being that the clause itself (LMA9150) was missing from MRC documentation presented to underwriter, meaning that even if a claim was suitable, it couldn’t follow the procedures to process under SCAP.

To address this particular area and ensure everyone is able to understand the benefits of SCAP, the LMA will be running a specific session for the market on Wednesday 2nd December. Whilst mainly aimed at placing brokers and underwriters, those working in claims are welcome to attend to provide a refresher training.

Details of how to book on the session is detailed below. The full file path to the invite is detailed here: https://www.lmalloyds.com/LMA/Events/LMA___market_events/SCAP_for_Underwriters_and_Placing_Brokers_02Dec2020+E20102.aspx

 

Improve claims service and reduce costs with SCAP

Training

The LMA on behalf of all the Associations will be running an informative and interactive session on SCAP (Single Claims Agreement Party) tailored specifically for Underwriters and Placing Brokers on Wednesday 02 December 2020 at 14.00 via Zoom.

Engage in and understand how the use of SCAP can support and benefit products and policyholders, evidencing benefits from broker and carrier adoption – simplifying servicing from the front end.

 

“Benefits are undeniable. We are mystified why other brokers haven’t taken advantage of it” Claims Director, WTW

Background

85% of all policyholder claims in the London Market are less than £250,000. These cross-market, non-complex claims can be settled more quickly and easily by using the Single Claims Agreement Party (SCAP) framework which was launched in February 2018 via the model LMA clause LMA9150.

What we have seen so far

A review of SCAP usage and effectiveness was undertaken by the market trade associations, Lloyd’s and DXC, in Q3 2020, which reveals:

The SCAP framework is used extensively by two large brokers who benefit in the following ways:

  1. faster response times and settlement times
  2. improved customer experience thanks to a reduced number of queries
  3. no quality concerns from leader only claims management
  4. a single claims agreement party reduces expense for brokers and carriers
  5. improved end to end service for clients.

So why is SCAP adoption being challenged?

  1. The processes and benefits may not be fully understood by all.
  2. Further support should be provided to placement functions, with an opportunity for claims functions to revisit training.
  3. The training will help brokers to ensure the clause is included within the MRC (if there is more than one subscribing market) and underwriters to accept the clause unless a valid reason is presented.
  4. There will be the opportunity for market feedback on how processes can be improved
  5. The challenges within the operating model are still to be addressed within Future at Lloyd’s.

Key features of SCAP

  1. The application of SCAP is optional for brokers and carriers and needs to be considered at the point of placement.
  2. The current SCAP threshold is fixed at GBP 250,000 (or currency equivalent) to the slip.
  3. The SCAP Slip Lead must be a UK authorised (re)insurer or a Lloyd’s syndicate
  4. SCAP operates to give claims handling authority to the Slip Lead on a multi bureau / mixed market placement
  5. Insurance and reinsurance placements are both in scope for SCAP. However, binding authorities, proportional treaties and quota share treaties are outside of scope.

Further Information

All relevant documentation and the associated guidelines can be found in the Document Library of the LMG website.
