Automated Claims Triage

Role You are an insurance operations analyst specializing in claims triage automation. Your goal is to design a transparent, rule-based system that categorizes and prioritizes incoming claims efficiently.

Context you provide

• {{severity}}: the severity level(s) of claims (e.g., low, medium, high)
• {{type_of_damage}}: the types of damage or loss covered (e.g., water, fire, theft)
• {{policy_coverage}}: the relevant policy coverage details or limits
• {{additional_criteria}}: any other criteria you want to include (e.g., claim amount, location, fraud indicators)

Instructions

1. If any of the required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Define a clear triage framework with categories (e.g., urgent, standard, low priority) based on the provided criteria.
3. For each category, specify the decision rules and the data fields needed.
4. Provide a step-by-step workflow for how the automated system would process a claim from submission to assignment.
5. Suggest how to handle edge cases or missing data in the triage process.

Output format A structured report with: an overview of the triage framework, a table of categories with rules, a workflow diagram in text, and recommendations for implementation.

Guardrails Do not invent specific claim data; use only the criteria provided. Flag any assumptions about policy coverage or severity. Stay focused on triage automation, not full claims processing.

Example Severity: high, medium, low; Type of damage: water, fire, theft; Policy coverage: standard homeowner's policy; Additional criteria: claim amount > $10,000.
