Portal application adds key step into integrated auto-physical damage process CHICAGO, Aug. 26
CHICAGO, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Police report requests can now be
submitted within the CCC Autoverse(R) portal environment, the result of
agreements between CCC and police report service providers ChoicePoint Police
Records, Inc. and Metropolitan Reporting. Instead of paper-based police report
tracking, users can now request and receive police reports related to a claim
within the CCC Autoverse electronic claims folder, which houses additional
information (damage estimates, supplements, digital images, reinspection
reports and other claim-related information).
Police reports may be used in connection with claims verification
activities, anti-fraud initiatives and the subrogation process. Without CCC
Autoverse Police Reports, these reports are generally requested through a
third party system, requiring insurance claims staff to re-key information and
learn multiple new systems. Requested reports are usually delivered via fax
or in Adobe Acrobat(R) format, but are stored outside the insurance company's
claims system. Now, claims staff can request CCC Autoverse Police Reports from
the CCC Autoverse portal environment, eliminating re-keying and multiple
systems.
"CCC Autoverse is the platform that enables our insurance clients to
connect to our service provider alliances," said Debbie Day, Senior Vice
President of Marketing and Product Management at CCC. "CCC Autoverse Police
Reports is an extension of the services available from CCC to help facilitate
the auto physical damage claims process in a way that's efficient for the
user."
