What makes Mavera's network of medical advisors unique

Medical assessments are essential for handling personal injury claims. Every insurer or claims-handling company needs affiliated medical advisors with specialist competence to cover every injury.

Mavera solves that by offering medical advisors from every medical specialty.

In this article, I will take you through everything you need to know about our network of medical advisors.

What does it mean for you as an insurance company?

It means that you can outsource your medical assessments to us. We will provide you with high-quality, independent assessments with a standard response time of 48 hours.

There are several reasons why an insurer should outsource their medical assessments. Here are the most common:

Scale for claims accuracy

To make accurate decisions, you need medical advisors from every medical discipline. That's around 50 specialists, and it is also good to have many doctors in the most common areas to reduce queues and for second opinions.

It is hard for any insurer to build a network of that scale internally. Typically they rely on less than ten general practitioners to assess every claim. That causes less accurate assessments and longer handling times.

Reduce administration costs

Outsourcing also reduces the internal resources required for managing medical advisors. An insurance company has to find, onboard, and manage each medical advisor. It's a time-consuming process with high costs outside an insurer's core business.

By outsourcing the network, that responsibility is already taken care of, and the insurer can be confident always to have medical advisors when needed.

Increase customer trust

Having medical advisors contracted by the insurance company can be seen as a conflict of interest. A medical assessment should always be objective and based on facts. That objectivity might be questioned if the insurance company compensates the doctor.

When you outsource, you can be sure that the assessments are independent and objective. That builds trust with your customers, which is essential for a long-term relationship.
