third party administration (TPA) services
UK TPA for insurance claim handling
Streamline your claims handling with Sedgwick’s TPA services
Why choose our TPA services
Managing claims programmes can be complex and resource‑intensive. Our TPA services combine experienced claims professionals, proven processes and market‑leading technology to support superior customer outcomes, cost control and actionable data insights.
the challenge
Claims complexity is reshaping UK insurance
The insurance market is operating under sustained pressure. Claims inflation across motor and property lines continues to erode margins, while heightened FCA scrutiny increases compliance risk. At the same time, fluctuating claim volumes and rising customer service expectations make consistent performance increasingly difficult to maintain within traditional in-house models.
