Streamlining Reinsurance Claims Submission: Quickly Extracting Support Docs for Proof of Loss — Reinsurance & Claims for Cedent Claims Specialists

Cedent Claims Specialists in Reinsurance and Claims are under constant pressure to assemble complete, defensible proof-of-loss (PoL) packages fast. Yet the reality is thousands of pages of loss notices, adjustment reports, correspondence files, ledgers, and policy artifacts are scattered across shared drives, claim systems, broker portals, and email threads. Missing one document can trigger queries, delays, and even recovery disputes. That is why many teams are actively searching for AI for extracting proof of loss documents and true reinsurance claim submission automation to remove bottlenecks and reduce leakage.

Nomad Data’s Doc Chat is built for this exact problem. It is a suite of insurance-grade, AI-powered agents that ingest entire claim files at enterprise scale, identify and extract the supporting documentation your reinsurers require, and assemble a consistent, audit-ready PoL package in minutes. With Doc Chat for Insurance, Cedent Claims Specialists can ask plain‑language questions like “List all Proof of Loss Forms and payment proofs by layer,” “Show where ALAE is defined in the treaty endorsements,” or “What documents substantiate SIR exhaustion?” and receive instant answers with page‑level citations.

The Reinsurance Nuance: Why Proof-of-Loss Assembly Is Hard for Cedent Claims Specialists

Reinsurance recovery is not simply an extension of primary claim handling. Cedent Claims Specialists must demonstrate contract compliance and provide a tight factual and financial narrative that satisfies treaty and facultative requirements, sometimes across multiple towers and layers. Proofs need to reconcile indemnity, ALAE, and recoverable calculations against definitions such as “ultimate net loss,” “hours clause,” and “follow the settlements/follow the fortunes,” plus aggregation and allocation rules—each of which may be defined differently across treaties and endorsements.

Consider a large property catastrophe or complex casualty bodily injury loss. The cedent must compile and reconcile a wide array of materials including:

• Proof of Loss Forms (cedent- or reinsurer-specific templates)
• Adjustment Reports (field adjuster narratives, engineer cause-and-origin, forensic accounting reports for BI/extra expense)
• Loss Notices (first notice and subsequent updates)
• Correspondence Files (emails with reinsurers and brokers, claim cooperation exchanges, ECF/IMR notes for the London Market)
• Payment registers, bank confirmations, and ledger extracts for indemnity and ALAE
• Reserve histories and change logs, bordereaux, and loss run reports
• Facultative certificates, treaty wordings, endorsements, and schedules of reinsurance
• Layer allocations, attachment point proofs, and reinstatement premium calculations
• Salvage/subrogation updates, arbitration or litigation filings, and regulatory notices

Each reinsurer may require slightly different evidence, formats, or degrees of validation. For London Market placements, documentation must also satisfy ECF validations and claim cooperation protocols. For NAIC Credit for Reinsurance and SOX controls, teams need complete audit trails, clear tie‑outs to finance, and consistent application of the cedent’s recovery playbook.

How This Work Is Handled Manually Today

Most cedent teams still tackle reinsurance submissions with manual effort. A Cedent Claims Specialist typically spends hours (or days) hunting through claim files, shared folders, and email threads to track down the latest Proof of Loss Forms, Adjustment Reports, Loss Notices, and Correspondence Files. They copy/paste key excerpts into PoL narratives, cross-walk payment registers to bank proofs, and draft cover letters that explain how indemnity and ALAE were calculated under the treaty’s definitions. They also reconcile layer allocations, catastrophe hours, and aggregation logic, often in spreadsheets that live outside the claim system.

The manual process typically includes:

• Searching multiple repositories (DMS, claim system, broker portals, email) for every required document and the most recent version.
• Manually verifying attachment and SIR exhaustion with payment proofs and reserve movements.
• Re-reading treaty wording and endorsements to confirm definitions (ultimate net loss, ALAE handling, hours clause, aggregation) and to document compliance.
• Building a binder: PoL form, exhibits, ledger extracts, adjustment narratives, certificates, endorsements, and correspondence—then indexing and packaging for ECF or secure email.
• Responding to reinsurer queries, re‑running calculations, and resending corrected or additional materials.

Even for experienced Cedent Claims Specialists, the complexity and volume drive long cycle times, high overtime, and frustrated stakeholders across Claims, Reinsurance Accounting, and Finance. One missed endorsement or omitted payment proof can create weeks of back-and-forth. Worse, manual processes mean inconsistencies from desk to desk, creating compliance risk and rework during audits.

AI for Extracting Proof of Loss Documents: How Doc Chat Automates the Process

Doc Chat is designed to deliver true reinsurance claim submission automation. It ingests entire claim files—thousands of pages at once—classifies every document, and then builds your PoL package to your rules.

Smart Intake, Classification, and Version Control

Upload the whole file and let Doc Chat do the heavy lifting. It automatically recognizes and tags Proof of Loss Forms, Adjustment Reports, Loss Notices, Correspondence Files, reserve histories, payment extracts, certificates, endorsements, and comprehensive treaty wordings. Duplicate and superseded versions are flagged, ensuring your PoL package includes only current, authoritative documents.

Answers and Evidence in Seconds

Ask, “List all payments included in ultimate net loss by date and tie to bank proof,” or “Show where ALAE is permitted to erode the retention.” Doc Chat returns structured answers with page-level citations and direct links, supporting faster internal reviews and external audits. The system’s Real‑Time Q&A spans the entire file, so Cedent Claims Specialists can rapidly find supporting docs for reinsurance recoveries without opening a single PDF page.

Contract-Aware Calculations and Compliance Checks

Because reinsurance recovery is contract-first, Doc Chat extracts and applies treaty definitions automatically. It identifies the applicable endorsements and schedules, the “follow the settlements/fortunes” language, cooperation clauses, hours clause, aggregation rules, and ultimate net loss (UNL) treatment. It validates attachment and SIR exhaustion, allocates loss by layer, and even supports reinstatement premium calculations—citing exactly where each rule is defined in the contract. Late notice risks or missing cooperation evidence are flagged proactively.

Automated Exhibits, Index, and Cover Letter

Doc Chat auto‑generates an evidence index and assembles a binder-ready package that includes your PoL form, settlement narratives, ledger tie‑outs, adjustment summaries, correspondence log, and treaty citations. It can draft the PoL cover letter using your tone and templates and then create ECF metadata or a zip package ready for secure submission. For ongoing events (e.g., catastrophe losses), Doc Chat can maintain a rolling index of updated documents and highlight what changed since the last submission.

Layered and Multi-Tower Support

Multi-layer or multi-tower programs are no problem. Doc Chat applies layer logic to split out recoverables, tracks erosion appropriately across layers, and produces per-layer PoL exhibits. For facultative placements, it aligns to the fac certificate terms and generates a bespoke package for the facultative reinsurer. If claims span time periods or policy years, Doc Chat helps allocate to occurrence and policy year, applying aggregation rules and identifying when hours/aggregation must be refreshed or split.

Streamline proof of loss package assembly AI

Beyond finding documents, Doc Chat delivers end-to-end assembly. It standardizes your PoL package format across lines and geographies, codifies your best practices, and drives consistency at scale—exactly what cedent teams mean when they search for “streamline proof of loss package assembly AI.”

Business Impact: Time, Cost, Accuracy, and Cash Flow

Replacing manual tasks with Doc Chat compresses cycle times from days to minutes. That speed translates directly to earlier reinsurance cash receipts and stronger working capital. It also reduces back-and-forth with reinsurers, because each submission arrives complete, clearly indexed, and supported with page‑level citations.

Quantitatively, carriers using Doc Chat for complex claims work see large reductions in review time and higher quality outputs. As described in this Great American Insurance Group case study, teams surface facts and policy clauses instantly and move to settlement strategy faster. And in The End of Medical File Review Bottlenecks, PoL-scale document sets previously requiring weeks were reduced to minutes without sacrificing thoroughness.

For Cedent Claims Specialists, the impact shows up in four areas:

1) Time Savings: PoL assembly that formerly took 10–20 hours can drop to under an hour, even for large, multi‑tower losses. Reinsurer queries fall because the initial package is more complete and better documented.

2) Cost Reduction: Overtime and specialist support needs decline. Highly paid staff refocus on strategy and negotiation, rather than scavenger hunts and formatting. Automated completeness checks reduce rework and expedite approvals.

3) Accuracy and Compliance: Doc Chat reads with consistent attention from page 1 to page 15,000. It surfaces every relevant reference to coverage, liability, damages, and contract clauses, eliminating blind spots that cause leakage. It preserves clear audit trails that satisfy internal controls, SOX, and NAIC Credit for Reinsurance documentation requirements.

4) Cash Flow and Recoveries: Faster PoL submission means faster recoveries. With fewer disputes and cleaner tie‑outs, cedents collect more—and earlier—improving loss ratio and capital efficiency.
