Adoption of electronic documentation for claims submitted on an online customer service platform

Kela operates a total of 40 different benefit schemes. Clients file claims through a variety of channels. Additional documentation is often required to supplement a claim for benefit. We receive several million such documents on paper each year. 

Kela's strategy is to develop further our self-service offerings for clients. With the increase in online service, the amount of mail we send out has decreased significantly. Sixty percent of all claims are filed over the internet.
