Claims review. Coverage checked, not just read.

Cross-references every claim against the policy terms and the insured's prior claim history, surfacing coverage gaps, exclusion matches, and likely denial reasons before an adjuster starts the file — every finding cited to the policy and the claim record. Built for carriers and TPAs reviewing high claim volumes.

14 cited fields per claim. Built on Sphere AI Foundry.

Manual coverage review doesn't scale with volume

A single coverage review means an adjuster reading the policy declarations, every endorsement, the loss notice, and the insured's prior claim file, then reasoning through exclusions and precedent by hand before writing up a recommendation. At low volume that's manageable. At hundreds of first notices of loss a week, it's the bottleneck between intake and a defensible coverage decision.

Claim in, cited coverage read out

Four steps, every one logged and citable back to the policy and the claim file.

01
Ingest

Reads the claim and policy directly from your systems

First notice of loss, adjuster notes, the full policy with declarations and endorsements, and the insured's prior claim history — read from your claims management system, policy admin system, or document repository. No separate upload step.

Claim #CL-88214 — HO-3 policy, insured J. Alvarez
02
Cross-check coverage

Every peril and exclusion checked against the policy

Reported peril, effective dates, sub-limits, endorsements, and named exclusions — each checked against the specific policy language in force at the date of loss, not a generic coverage summary.

Example query
"Does the gradual-seepage exclusion apply to this water loss?"
03
Check prior history

Flags patterns across the insured's claim history

Prior claims on the same peril, same location, or same policy period are surfaced automatically — a signal adjusters otherwise have to dig for manually across separate claim files.

Cited finding
Two prior water-damage claims on this policy in the last 18 months (CL-81002, CL-84417), both closed with repair payouts under $4,000.

Classify & route

One classification, one consolidated finding list

The agent returns Likely Covered, Likely Partial Denial, or Likely Denial, with a consolidated list of coverage gaps and denial reasons for adjuster sign-off before the coverage letter goes out.

Typical inputs

What the agent reads, and what it connects to.

Documents

  • Policy contract, declarations page, and endorsements in force at the date of loss
  • First notice of loss (FNOL) and adjuster field notes
  • Prior claim files on the same policy or insured
  • Proof of loss, estimates, and repair invoices
  • Police, fire, or independent adjuster reports where applicable
  • State-specific claim-handling requirements and unfair-claims-practices rules

Systems

  • Claims management system
  • Policy administration system
  • Document repository or imaging system

Is this the right fit?

Built for volume — not a one-off coverage question.

✓ Works best for

  • Carriers and TPAs processing high volumes of first-party claims
  • Teams standardizing coverage review against fixed policy forms
  • Operations wanting every denial reason traceable to policy language

Too small for

  • A single coverage question senior counsel can answer faster than configuring the review
  • Replacing adjuster judgment or the final coverage determination
  • Complex litigated claims requiring bespoke legal analysis outside standard policy language

Grounded in the policy, not a black box

Compliance-first, the same standard every Sphere agent is held to.

The agent requires the complete policy and claim file before it will return a classification, and every review sits between claim intake and the adjuster's coverage determination — never past it. A licensed adjuster confirms every finding before a coverage letter or reserve change goes out.

Findings reference the specific policy form, endorsement, and applicable state unfair-claims-practices requirements directly — see how the same audit-trail standard applies across regulated deployments in Governed AI for Insurance Carriers and Private LLM Deployment for Insurance Claims Organizations.

Prerequisites complete file

Complete policy and claim documentation required before a classification is returned.

Human review required

A licensed adjuster confirms every classification before it reaches a coverage determination — never fully autonomous.

Regulatory grounding NAIC-aligned

Findings reference specific policy language and state unfair-claims-practices requirements directly in every review.

Frequently asked

Does the Claims Review Agent decide whether a claim is approved or denied?

No. It performs the coverage cross-check and surfaces likely denial reasons and gaps for the adjuster to review — the adjuster makes and documents the coverage determination. Nothing is paid or denied without that sign-off.

What lines of business does the Claims Review Agent support?

Property, auto, and general liability first-party and third-party claims out of the box. Workers' compensation and specialty lines can be added during onboarding with the relevant policy language and state requirements configured in.

How does it integrate with an existing claims management system?

It reads directly from your claims management system, policy administration system, or document repository — no separate upload step required. Integration scope is confirmed during deployment planning.

Is every finding from the Claims Review Agent traceable to the policy or the file?

Yes. Every coverage gap, exclusion match, and prior-claim flag cites the specific policy endorsement, page, or file entry it came from — there is no finding without a citation back to the source.

How is this different from a generic document AI tool?

It is built specifically around a coverage cross-check against policy language and prior claim history, not a general-purpose summarizer. It runs on Sphere AI Foundry, so the access controls and audit trail configured here carry forward to other agents you deploy.
