5 Steps to Answer a Claim-Status Email Without Overpromising

Step-by-step guide7 slidesChatGPT

By Robert Breen · Published · From the free lesson Reply Faster to Claim-Status Emails: ChatGPT for Independent Insurance Agencies

A visual guide for insurance agencies: answer a client's claim-status email with ChatGPT, then check every claim against your facts before you send.

  1. ChatGPT for insurance agencies. Answer a claim-status email without overpromising. Stonebridge Insurance Agency (made up). A client hit a deer and has three questions.
    Slide 1 of 7
  2. Step 1. Copy the thread. Expand all in Gmail and copy the four messages. Leave out what the reply doesn't need, like a driver's license number. Screenshot: Gmail thread between a client and a small insurance agency: she hit a deer, the agent reported the claim to the carrier, and she asks when the carrier will pay, whether a rental is covered and whether her rate will go up.
    Slide 2 of 7
  3. Step 2. Paste eight numbered facts. The claim and deductible, the adjuster, who decides payment, the rental limit, the rate answer and the agency's rule. Screenshot: ChatGPT message box holding the pasted thread and a numbered list of the agency's facts, including the rate answer, the agency's rule never to promise payment dates or rates for the carrier, and the instructions for the reply.
    Slide 3 of 7
  4. Step 3. Read the first draft. It says the rental is covered the whole time the car is in the shop, and that her rate won't go up. Screenshot: ChatGPT's first draft of the reply, which gets the inspection and payment answer right but says a rental is covered the whole time the car is in the shop and that the client's rate won't go up.
    Slide 4 of 7
  5. Step 4. Check every claim. The rental line leaves out $40 a day and $1,200. The promise that the rate won't go up isn't supported. Screenshot: ChatGPT table matching each claim in the draft to a numbered fact, with two rows flagged: the rental line leaves out the $40 a day and $1,200 limit, and the promise that the rate won't go up is not supported.
    Slide 5 of 7
  6. Step 5. Fix it, then send. The corrected rental and rate wording, each question in its own short paragraph, every other fact the same. Screenshot: The corrected reply in ChatGPT, answering each question in its own paragraph: the rental limit and how to set one up, and an honest rate answer that the carrier sets at renewal.
