Full TPA model

Your claims, handled for you. Your rules, your view.

Clarion's team runs your claims under the authority you give us. You do not hire or manage anyone. You see everything and stay in control.

  • You set the authority limits
  • You see every claim and every decision
  • You can change the rules at any time

In short

In the full TPA model, Clarion's own people handle your claims for you under authority you delegate. A TPA, or third party administrator, always acts for its client. You set the rules and the service levels, and see every claim as it moves.

What a TPA does

It runs claims on behalf of someone else.

A third party administrator does the work and reports back.

01

Takes in the claim

Reported once, by phone, portal or system.

02

Assesses it

Cover, damage, liability and any injury.

03

Arranges the work

Repairs, towing and replacement vehicles.

04

Recovers and reports

Chases costs back and shows you the result.

Who we act for

You. Always you, the client.

We do not act for ourselves, and we do not act for the other side.

You decide

The limits and the standard are yours to set.

  • You set the authority limits: what we can decide and pay
  • You set the rules and the service levels
  • You see every claim and every decision
  • You can change the rules at any time

We do

Inside those limits, the work is ours.

  • We handle each claim within your limits
  • We refer back anything outside them
  • We meet your service levels and report against them
  • We keep a timestamped record of every decision
The people belong to the TPA

You do not need to build a claims team.

Clarion's specialists do the work, and you keep the oversight.

No hiring

Clarion employs and trains the team.

No managing

Clarion manages the people and the workload.

Always covered

Volumes rise and fall without changing your headcount.

One accountable party

You deal with Clarion, not with each supplier.

What you see and control

Insight and control, without doing the work.

Everything the team does sits in one place, live.

Live claim status

Every open claim, from lodgement to close.

Service levels and alerts

See what is on track and what is near a breach.

Reporting

Cost, days to close, recoveries and volume.

Delegated authority limits

Set and change what Clarion can decide.

Full audit trail

Each decision logged and timestamped.

Questions we are asked

The things people check first.

Who makes the decisions on my claims?

Clarion's team makes decisions, but only within the authority and the rules you set. Anything outside those limits comes back to you.

Who employs the people handling my claims?

Clarion does. You do not hire, train or manage the claims team.

What can I see?

Live claim status, service levels and alerts, regular reporting and a record of each decision on every claim.

Can I change the rules?

Yes. You set the authority limits, the rules and the service levels, and you can change them.

What happens if I want to stop using Clarion?

Exit and handover terms are set out in your agreement. Ask us to walk you through them in the walkthrough.
