August 14, 2024
AM Best TV | Preverity Founder & CEO discusses the role of AI and advanced analytics in the insurance industry
Preverity’s Founder & CEO, Larry Van Horn, joined a panel of captive insurance professionals interviewed by AM Best TV at the Vermont Captive Insurance Association (VCIA) annual conference in Burlington, Vermont, highlighting the importance of developing audit processes for artificial intelligence.
Dr. Van Horn emphasized that AI has the potential to significantly enhance the accuracy and efficiency of clinical risk assessments by processing vast amounts of data quickly and identifying patterns that may not be immediately evident to human analysts. He also highlighted the importance of integrating AI in a way that supports and augments human decision-making, rather than replacing it entirely.

AWS cites Preverity’s use of Gen AI to address real customer needs
November 28, 2023
Preverity presented as a model for effectively using generative AI to help healthcare and technology companies manage, analyze and model healthcare data.
The one thing that will make gen AI “move from hype and interesting right now to fascinating and relevant is the customer use case,” said AWS channel leader Ruba Borno at the 2023 AWS re:Invent conference.
Borno referenced AWS solution integrator partner Innovative Solutions, which is working with a customer called Preverity, which helps healthcare and technology companies manage, analyze and model healthcare data, to optimize how it aggregated data for risk assessments.
“What used to take their analysts weeks to research and determine the risk profile now can be done very, very quickly. They’ve predicted savings in hundreds of thousands of dollars just in the first year. They’ve increased their time to do these quotes … they’re able to do it faster, reducing costs, speeding up the outcome to the customer. That’s one use case for a specific industry and a specific type of customer,” said Borno. “That’s what we’re excited about with our partners, thinking through the top use cases by industry that we can work on together.”
The 2023 AWS re:Invent conference was attended by 27,000 people in Las Vegas and half a million people virtually from Nov. 27 to Dec 1.

Meeting Industry Challenges with Automation
February 15, 2023
Preverity COO discusses “Meeting Industry Challenges with Automation” in latest Tech Talk article in Inside Medical Liability
With 2023 well underway, it’s no secret that the medical professional liability (MPL) industry has faced and continues to face strong headwinds. In fact, rating agency AM Best notes that this insurance segment faces persistently depressed demand, rate adequacy concerns, rising loss costs and social inflation, diminishing reserve redundancies, and the potential for additional COVID-related claims frequency. Consequently, AM Best maintains a negative outlook for the MPL segment for this year.
Additionally, the industry has fallen behind other insurance lines in leveraging data and technology to improve underwriting efficiency, rating accuracy, and customer experience for agents, brokers, and insureds. While you may have no control over many of the factors afflicting the industry, you do have control over technology and data. Preverity’s Chief Operating Officer, Gene Boerger, discusses strategies and processes that make it much more feasible to understand better what your insureds are doing while automating underwriting.

What is Minor Surgery and Why Does it Matter?
October 5, 2022
Preverity, Inc. answers the question, “What is Minor Surgery and Why Does it Matter?” in published feature article in Inside Medical Liability
Matt Koerlin, Preverity’s Chief Product Officer and author of the article, describes a common scenario where doctors, who are assigned to a Minor Surgery class, usually pay higher premiums than doctors assigned to a “No Surgery” class. But the fact is, minor surgery is a vague term, and the answer to the question of “what is minor surgery?” varies depending on who is asked. Ultimately, doctors seeking coverage probably care most about their malpractice carrier’s opinion, but even those opinions can vary depending on which underwriter is working the risk, and what data is used to determine premium.
The key, Koerlin writes, is to have access to critical sources of data, such as historical medical billing data, to provide granular insights into procedures that doctors perform allowing carriers to better assess risk and appropriately set premium.
