What should a brokerage look for in claims management software?
A brokerage that handles claims under delegated claims authority needs what a TPA needs: one platform that holds each client's authority limits, rules and service standards and applies them on every claim, a view for each client that the brokerage controls, and reporting drawn from the claims themselves. In VCA ClaimsCore each client has its own profile and rules, ClientPortal adds the client view, and every VCA implementation starts with discovery.
Can each client have its own authority limits, rules and billing?
Yes. In VCA ClaimsCore, authority limits are configured per client or per program, and workflows and rules can be set per client, program or policy type. Each client has its own profile, and its rates, protocols and instructional documents carry into every claim handled for it. Time and expense are tracked against the claim by client and invoiced on fee schedules.
Can our clients see their own claims?
Yes, with ClientPortal, an add-on to VCA ClaimsCore. Each client gets a branded login to the claims that concern it, set by company, by claim and by tab. Portal users read status, shared notes and financials, message the adjuster, upload documents and submit new claims. Notes marked Internal stay off the portal.
Can one client see another client's claims?
No. On VCA, one client's claims can't be seen in another client's views or reports.
How are claim payments issued?
VCA ClaimsCore records every payment against the reserve it draws on. ClaimsPay, an add-on, issues the payment: through VCA's partnership with Vitesse, announced September 16, 2026, a payment approved in VCA is issued without re-keying payment details between systems.
Which lines of business does VCA support?
VCA supports every property and casualty line of business: personal and commercial lines, casualty, property, specialty and in-house programs. Not workers' compensation or health benefits claims.
How long does it take a brokerage to go live on VCA?
Every implementation starts with discovery: VCA maps how your claims actually move, including each client's authority levels and reporting obligations, before anything is configured. A Standard License deployment configured to your workflows is live in 3 to 4 weeks. Running several clients or programs side by side, with migrated claim history or integrations, is usually an Enterprise License deployment, at 8 to 16 weeks. Your band is scoped at quote.
