Majesco (Morristown, N.J.), a global provider of cloud-based core and related insurance software solutions, announced the general availability of Version 23 of Majesco ClaimVantage Claims Management for L&H and Majesco ClaimVantage Absence Management, the vendor’s third major release for the products in 2021.

The newest enhancements include enriched eligibility and risk management for claims allowing the ability to define the waiting and elimination periods at the coverage level, rather than the policy level, according to a Majesco statement. The vendor notes that the industry has seen an increase in the demand for voluntary benefits—an Aon study found the percentage employers offering voluntary benefits increased 27 percent during the past enrollment period—and says the enhancements will enable insures to better manage the risk for their voluntary offerings.
“The industry is shifting in how they want to define waiting periods and elimination periods, and these enhancements set our customers up to more effectively manage these benefits,” comments Raymond Law, SVP and General Manager, L&A and Group Products at Majesco. “Our continued focus is to provide customers with the capabilities needed to efficiently and effectively manage their claims in a constantly changing market. This release demonstrates our commitment to keeping customers in line with market shifts and changing compliance and legislative changes.”
Majesco also notes that companies are also preparing for the Connecticut Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) rollout on January 1, 2022. Iterative changes included in the Majesco ClaimVantage Absence Management release ensure compliance with the new legislation, as the state issues additional guidance ahead of the New Year. The vendor says the latest release offers customers the ability to capture an employee’s earnings by completed calendar quarter for quick and accurate benefit calculations.
Among the highlights for the solutions are the following as described by the vendor:
Majesco ClaimVantage Claims Management for L&H:
- Enhanced Risk Management: Ability to define Elimination Periods and Waiting Periods at the coverage level for improved risk management and straight through processing.

Solutions such as what Majesco is delivering, which provide digital capabilities and facilitate automated processing of claims, represent an important step forward as carriers consider how to improve operational and financial performance against stiff competition.”
