Wellabe Accelerates Pre-Need Claims with Straight-Through Processing

65% of funeral home claims auto-adjudicated
50% increase in productivity across claims operations
Improved ability to scale operations

Wellabe partnered with Benekiva to modernize its pre-need claims operations, enhancing a traditionally manual, paper-driven process into a digital, automation-first workflow. Operating within a unique ecosystem centered on funeral home partners, Wellabe needed to streamline first notice of loss, reduce manual effort, and accelerate claim processing without disrupting existing systems. By implementing Benekiva’s platform, Wellabe achieved a 50% increase in productivity, enabled 65% auto-adjudication of funeral home claims, and significantly reduced administrative burden on claims teams.

Problem

Manual professes impacting a high-volume operation

Wellabe’s pre-need claims process required manual work across multiple systems. Claims were received through a mix of faxes, emails, and mailed documents, requiring employees to manually upload, match, and validate information before processing could begin. This created several challenges:

Time-intensive processes for claims staff

Increased potential for errors during first notice of loss and data validation

Frequent back-and-forth with funeral homes to gather documentation

The result? A correspondence process that supports your team rather than slowing them down.
