Examples of claims overpayments include:
Excess not deducted
Payment not covered by policy
Duplicated payments
Fraudulent claims
Examples of claims under collection include:
Recovery opportunities not identified
Recovery abandoned prematurely

13.9% claims leakage worth $7-8 million for the annual claims population
