South Korea&#8217;s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries has launched a digital claims system for fisheries insurance. As a result, the Ministry in collaboration with the National Federation of Fisheries Cooperatives has organized a public briefing on the new Web-EDI system for fisheries insurance. <\/p>\n<p>The Web-EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) platform allows hospitals and fisheries boat repair centers to transmit claims data electronically to the National Fisheries Cooperatives Federation. This allows claims to be processed in almost real-time. <\/p>\n<p>Previously, fishermen who claimed disaster insurance had to collect medical records or documents related to the repair of fishing boats and submit them to their local fisheries cooperative. The new digital system eliminates the need for physical visits, reduces administrative burdens and simplifies the claims process. <\/p>\n<p>The ministry expects to halve the average claim payment period from about 30 days after claim submission to about 15 days. The initiative is part of the government&#8217;s broader efforts to digitise public services and improve access to insurance benefits for the fisheries sector. \u2013Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kathmandu.
