Top questions: Straight answers

Explore the most frequently asked questions about ClaimSearch—covering how it works, who it serves, and how it helps fight fraud and streamline claims.

What is ClaimSearch?

ClaimSearch is where the industry comes together to share claims data—more than 1,850 contributors strong, including the top 100 P&C insurers. That kind of collective insight gives you a clear, wide-angle view of the claims landscape. It helps you work faster, make better decisions, and stay ahead of fraud. It’s the power of shared intelligence, working for you.

What is ClaimSearch used for?

ClaimSearch helps claims and SIU teams make smarter decisions from day one to final resolution. It flags potential fraud right away, gives you full loss histories for better context, and keeps an eye on claims in real-time to catch red flags early. Visual dashboards make it easy to track performance and spot trends, while automated compliance reporting saves time. And because it connects you to a broader claims network, collaboration and data sharing is made easier across the industry.

Why is ClaimSearch the most trusted claims data network?

Because nothing else comes close. Nearly 200,000 claims professionals rely on ClaimSearch every day, making it foundational to the claims process. It captures over 95% of carrier claims data and transforms it into powerful claim intelligence—like visual histories and risk indicators. It also helps carriers automatically meet regulatory compliance needs, so teams can stay focused on what matters most. It’s not just data—it’s clarity, speed, and confidence in every claim.

What should the industry look for in a claims data network?

Trust, scale, and staying power. ClaimSearch has been foundational to claims data sharing for over 50 years. With unmatched completeness, connectedness, and security, it helps you fight fraud, streamline claims, and support compliance. These strengths can’t be built overnight—they reflect the trust the industry places in ClaimSearch, and the expertise behind it. And with customer centric innovation, it’s built to solve tomorrow’s challenges, not just today’s.

Who can access ClaimSearch, and for what purposes?

Access to ClaimSearch is limited to credentialed users and strictly for approved purposes. These include detecting or preventing fraud, criminal activity, or material misrepresentation in connection with insurance transactions, or accessing data related to an individual or property involved in an authorized ClaimSearch transaction. Law enforcement users may access ClaimSearch only for investigating vehicle theft, insurance-related crime, or developing background information tied to homeland security—and must be authorized by the NICB to do so.

Why is 95% carrier participation so important?

Because near-total contribution means total confidence in the data. With 95% of carriers sharing claims, professionals get a much clearer view—spotting potential fraud faster or moving claims through more efficiently for a better customer experience. This level of participation is unmatched. ClaimSearch is where the industry connects.
