Using Predictive Analytics for Early Identification of Short-Term Disability Claimants Who Exhaust Their Benefits

Conclusions Waiting even a few weeks can substantially increase the accuracy of early intervention targeting by allowing claims that will resolve without further intervention to do so. Predictive modeling further narrows the target population based on claim characteristics, reducing intervention costs. Before adopting a waiting strategy, however, it is important to consider potential trade-offs involved in delaying the start of any intervention.
