AI for Insurance Claims Call Centers (FNOL)

AgentTech Team

The first notice of loss (FNOL) call is where claims outcomes start. The problem is that FNOL is high-variance: different callers, different stress levels, different coverage questions, and lots of details that must be captured correctly. AI helps by improving consistency during intake and making handoffs cleaner—without forcing adjusters to read walls of notes.

The FNOL workflow (what has to happen)

  1. Capture core facts: who/what/when/where, policy identifiers, and contact details.
  2. Triage urgency: safety risks, towing, temporary housing, fraud signals, or escalation needs.
  3. Assign correctly: route to the right queue/team based on line of business and jurisdiction.
  4. Set next steps: required documents, follow-up timing, and customer expectations.

Where AI helps (realistically)

Structured notes + summaries

Turn a long conversation into a clean FNOL summary that an adjuster can act on.

Cleaner routing + handoffs

Route to the right queue faster and preserve context for the next handler.

Consistency during intake

Reduce variance between agents by guiding what must be captured before ending the call.

Faster follow-up

Generate next-step tasks and reminders so customers aren’t left guessing.

Implementation checklist (claims teams)

  • Standardize your FNOL template (fields and required information).
  • Define routing rules by line of business and jurisdiction.
  • Measure AHT and repeat contacts for FNOL queues specifically.
  • Design for sensitive data (permissions, access controls, and retention policies).
