The site has approximately 521 credentialed claims agents available to 19 million veterans nationwide.
VetClaims.ai is the culmination of the founder’s heartbreaking story, a Purple Heart recipient from the 82nd Airborne who deployed during OEF in 2012. After serving his country, he became homeless when he could not access the benefits he had already earned. That experience became the basis for a business designed to help other veterans avoid the same failure. The site has now served 55,000 veterans, many of whom fell through the cracks of the system at a difficult time in their lives, just like the founder. More than 400 jobs have been created for veterans thanks to the site.
The site has approximately 521 credentialed claims agents available to 19 million veterans nationwide. THE VetClaims.ai The argument is that veterans don’t have a paperwork problem; rather, it is a capacity problem. Agents can help veterans understand the veterans claims process and their disability rating. The average claims process is reduced to 1.8 claim cycles when using the site, which is lower than the industry standard of four to six. Claims preparation is now complete in approximately 14 days from admission to ready to file. The flat fee is $1,250, compared to the $16,500 fee charged by predatory claims agents.
Shortage of agents in the public sector
When disaster preparation is faster on the private sector side, the process can still be slowed down by bottlenecks on the government side due to low agent strength. State restrictions can significantly affect a system already limited by deficiencies. Rules such as California SB 694 limit exorbitant fees and actions that financially benefit veterans, but they also increase the number of days for a claim completed.
The VetClaims.ai model as a pressure relief valve
The company does not claim represent veterans before the Veterans Administration. This is a cutting-edge new digital technology that enables AI-assisted claims preparation. It includes a mandatory human review, a flat fee, and commission-based preparation. This is not a representation. Veterans who feel they need representation will need to add this need to their checklist to complete the process.
Free Strategy Consultation
New users of the site receive a free strategy consultation to begin the process, during which they apply to determine if they are eligible and agents can provide assistance. Then the evidence is mapped and agents help link it to legal precedent and medical literature to prepare the veterans’ case. All this happens without touching the customer’s arrears. All evidence is normally submitted in advance. The standard allows submission of evidence during development. The strategy depends on the preparation of the evidence. The system is approved by the Purple Heart Foundation.
Why prepare for AI now
Helping 55,000 veterans is a testament to the team’s dedication to helping users understand and navigate the system, so they don’t end up frustrated and homeless, feeling alone. The government now understands better predatory nature of certain organizations who take advantage of veterans at a difficult time in their lives and attempts to stop these practices with legislation like SB 694. While predatory lawyers and corporations charge more than $6,000 on average, VetClaims.ai never exceeds $1,250. They say the award reflects their efficiency, the knowledge of their seasoned employees and their engineering capabilities.
