Model the AI cost of claims processing, underwriting and policy servicing at insurer scale.

Insurers process millions of claims and policies annually. AI is being embedded into intake, triage, fraud detection, underwriting and customer support — each with distinct token profiles. This calculator estimates the full operational footprint.

Key cost considerations for insurance

  • Claims volume is the dominant variable — model token cost per claim, not per employee.
  • Efficient models (Gemini Flash, GPT-5 mini) cover 70–80% of claim summarization at <10% of frontier cost.
  • Fraud-detection workflows benefit from frontier models; route only high-risk cases there.
