Overview

Transferring a claim will move the claim, all claimants and all associated documents to the new branch/claim group. Only users who have access to the branch/claim group will be able to view the claim, claimants and associated documents.

Transferring a claim to a new branch/claim group can be done individually or in bulk. Claims can be transferred via the HCAI web interface or via integration.

• Claims can only be moved into claim groups that have the setting “Allow claim-claimants to be set up in this branch/claim group?” set to Yes. To learn how to change this setting, visit the Branch/Claim Group Management page.
• Claims can only be transferred via the web by non-integrating insurers or by integrating insurers who request the web functionality be enabled. Integrating insurers who wish to move their claims via the web need to coordinate this change with their HCAI integration team to prevent any disruption to their Claim-Claimant Feed. They can then use the HCAI Integration Settings Update Form to request the web functionality be enabled.

When a claim is moved to a new branch/claim group, the claimant file owner remains the same. If the claimant file owner does not have access to the new branch/claim group, they will not be able to see these claimant’s documents. Review the user’s account to ensure they have access to the branch/claim group, or reassign the claimant to a file owner with correct access.

6. Click the “Save” button.
7. If all of the claimants associated to the claim are assigned to the same claimant file owner, the claim will be transferred to the new claim group.
8. If the claimants associated to the claim are unassigned or are assigned to multiple different file owners, a pop-up will appear allowing you to reassign the file owner associated to each claimant. You can also leave the fields unchanged if you do not want to reassign the claimant file owners. Click “Save”. (View screenshot)
