Risk Performance Optimization (RPO)

Risk management outcomes are a function of the quality of the business processes that influence them. Improve the business process that may influence exposure to risk and claims, and the outcomes will improve. To meet the challenges associated with improving the collective processes that drive claim outcomes and costs, WTW has developed Risk Performance Optimization (RPO), an advisory service led by our senior consultants to improve daily risk management execution.

Claim Closure Solutions

Most claim professionals agree that when claims are paid faster, costs are less. Proper and aggressive management of the claim process can facilitate a quicker resolution and lower future payments. Claim closure solutions (CCS) is designed to reduce open claims and total developed incurred losses.

TPA Selection Services and Market Metrics

One of the most important decisions a company makes is the selection of its TPA. One mishandled claim could cost thousands of dollars, so the quality of a TPA’s services can significantly impact a company’s income statement and balance sheet.

However, this decision-making process is complex and requires a significant knowledge and understanding of claim administration that Willis Towers Watson’s highly trained and experienced professionals bring to clients so they can make informed decisions.

Claim Audit

This important service measures and rates the performance of your claim service providers. A highly skilled and experienced team of Willis Towers Watson claim professionals selects files from your loss history.
