United Claim Processors provides claims processing services for major insurance companies. The Winnipeg location processes all
health benefit claims for various insurance benefit providers. Claims are received electronically or by mail in the Initial Review
Department. Employees in this department sort claims into simple and complex categories and note any missing documentation that
may be required. Simple claims are then passed on to the Processing Department where skilled claims processors match information
from the claim with each individual's accounts in the database and then estimate the value of the benefit payment to be paid. Complex
claims go to a separate processing centre for further examination. The next stage in the simple claims process is the Approval and
Payment Department, where final approvals and payments to claimants are initiated and completed.
During March, the Initial Review Department transferred 6,690.50 simple claims to the Processing Department. At the end of March,
1,600 claims remained in the Initial Review Department that were 75% complete with respect to conversion. The cost per equivalent
unit for the month was $3.10 per claim processed, and total costs incurred in the Initial Review Department during the month totalled
$24,460. (Note that there are only conversion costs in this process; no raw materials are added at any point.)
