Example Output
Claims Analysis Report
✓ Claim Summary: Participant denied long-term disability claim; alleges improper medical review and procedural error.
✓ Plan Language Finding: Plan language permits subjective medical judgment; decision not arbitrary and capricious on face.
✓ Procedural Compliance: SPD failed to explain appeals process; notice mailed via standard mail without confirmation of receipt.
✓ Fiduciary Conduct: Claims reviewer contracted with insurance company sharing profits; potential conflict of interest per ERISA Section 406.
✓ Litigation Risk: Medium-High (65%). Procedural defects salvageable; fiduciary conflict requires immediate corrective action.
✓ Recommendations: (1) Cure SPD defect and reissue; (2) Disclose conflicts in writing; (3) Offer expedited re-review with independent medical expert.
Fiduciary Compliance Audit
✓ Investment Oversight: Plan lacks written investment policy statement; manager fees not benchmarked against peer comparables.
