Case Study: Modernizing Insurance Operations Without a Full System Reset

Blogs » Case Study: Modernizing Insurance Operations Without a Full System Reset

Health insurers are grappling with a common but critical challenge: outdated core systems that can no longer keep up with the pace of digital transformation. Legacy platforms—Eldorado, Facets, QNXT, and others—once essential to day-to-day operations, are now major barriers to growth, compliance, and member satisfaction. While the specific technologies may vary, the symptoms are the same: manual workflows, fragmented data, limited automation, and rising operational overhead.

One leading insurance provider approached Lirik facing this exact scenario. Their operations relied on a patchwork of legacy systems and homegrown tools that had become serious bottlenecks to business agility and service excellence.

The impact was felt across the board:

  • Manual Claims Processing:
    Claims adjusters spent up to 60% of their time on manual data entry, resulting in delays, increased errors, and staff burnout.
  • Fragmented Documentation:
    Key benefit documents were scattered across SharePoint, Excel, and even paper files—causing inconsistencies and audit risks.
  • Limited Automation:
    Only 30% of claims were auto-adjudicated, slowing resolution time and driving up operational costs.
  • Integration Gaps:
    The legacy platforms couldn’t keep pace with evolving coding standards or integrate with provider systems—leading to data silos.
  • Compliance Vulnerabilities:
    Manual audit trails and poor version control created exposure to regulatory penalties.

How It Impacted Business KPIs, Members, and Providers

  • Member Satisfaction Decline:
    Claims resolution times averaged 10–15 days, driving down satisfaction scores and increasing member churn risk.
  • Provider Frustration:
    Lack of real-time data sharing and processing delays hurt provider coordination and reimbursement timelines.
  • Operational Overhead:
    Claims departments required 30% more headcount than industry norms to keep up impacting bottom-line.
  • Lost Agility:
    The company couldn’t respond quickly to new market opportunities or regulatory changes due to IT bottlenecks.
  • Limited Visibility:
    Data silos and manual reporting made performance analysis and strategic decision-making painfully slow.

A Smarter Path Forward
Rather than start from scratch, Lirik helped the client transition to a modern, connected solution built on Salesforce Health Cloud with integration to existing workflows. We conducted a rapid but thorough assessment to develop a phased path to transformation, focusing on high-impact areas like claims adjudication, automation, and data unification.

We bridged the gap between payer operations and modern cloud capabilities—translating complex claims processes into streamlined, automated workflows using Salesforce Health Cloud, MuleSoft for integration. We are now exploring the use of Agentforce to speed-up inquiry processing times and empower service teams.
The result? A faster, simpler transition that didn’t require ripping out core systems—just rethinking how they connect, communicate, and scale.

In my next post, we’ll share how Salesforce Health Cloud, Agentforce, and MuleSoft powered this transformation—turning a broken system into a responsive, intelligent, and member-first platform.
