Harper
Example case · Insurance verification

Vendor commercial insurance, verified at the source.

Enterprise healthcare teams track dozens of required policies across hundreds of vendors. Harper collects every COI, calls the carrier to confirm the policy is active and matches your contract, and threads the evidence back — so a lapsed or downgraded policy doesn’t surface for the first time during a claim.

The figures on this page are an illustrative example — use the calculator to model your own portfolio.

The choice no team should have to make

Insurance verification usually comes down to two bad options — and the work that falls through the gap between them.

Option one

Pour in the hours

Sort the COIs, call the producers, sit on hold, read the policy numbers, and log the findings — for every policy, every vendor, every cycle.

Option two

Let it slide

Deprioritize it for more urgent work, and rely on certificates you haven’t confirmed — with no certainty the coverage is still active when you need it.

Enterprise healthcare vendors carry many common commercial policies — each with its own expiration date, carrier, and certificate format:

General LiabilityCyber CrimeCommercial AutoCommercial Crime / Employee TheftEmployer LiabilityDirectors & OfficersProfessional LiabilityUmbrella & Excess Liability

And every policy has to line up with the specifics of your contract:

Coverage limitsPer-incident vs. aggregateNamed additional insuredAM Best rating

Now multiply by the whole portfolio. In our worked example — 1,320 vendors, 4 policies each, re-checked quarterly — that’s over 21,000 individual verifications a year. It’s exactly the kind of high-volume, low-judgment work that quietly gets skipped.

The risk isn’t only the missing certificate. A COI can look perfectly compliant on file while the policy behind it has lapsed, been cancelled, or stepped its limits down at renewal.

How it works

A consistent process that runs alongside your compliance team — you stay in control of how much it handles.

1

Share your requirements

Harper shows each vendor the exact liability coverage your contract calls for — so there’s no guessing about what to send.

2

Collect every COI

Harper gathers certificates of insurance for all required policies, across every vendor in scope, and chases the stragglers.

3

Confirm it at the source

Harper reads each COI and calls the producer or carrier on your chosen cadence to confirm the policy is active and the limits match your contract.

4

You decide where to step in

Set how much Harper handles on its own. It does the repetitive work and routes anything ambiguous to your team.

5

Keep a record you can defend

Original COIs, call recordings, transcripts, and a full reasoning trail — the kind of documentation you can hand to an executive, a regulator, or a court.

Every step traceable. Every artifact threaded back. The audit trail builds itself — and Maren can hand it to legal, the AI Governance Council, or her next OCR audit without a reasoning gap to defend.

Two things you get back

Coverage you’ve actually confirmed

A certificate on file isn’t proof of coverage. Harper checks each policy against the carrier on a recurring basis, so a lapsed or quietly downgraded policy gets caught before a claim does — not during one.

Hours back for your team

The collecting, calling, reading, and logging is the bulk of the work and the least of the judgment. Harper takes that off your team’s plate so their time goes to the calls that actually need their expertise.

Insurance verification is one of several Harper agents — run it on its own, or alongside the others as part of one vendor-compliance platform.

About Harper

For Harper, vendor compliance is the whole product — not an add-on bolted onto a general GRC suite. It’s a set of AI agents that take on the repetitive, document- and phone-heavy work of overseeing your vendors, and keep a trail behind every action.

Start with a single high-value agent as a point solution, or run several together through one platform — whichever fits where your team needs the help most.
