UMT provides a streamlined, secure, and highly structured intake process designed specifically for mass tort administration. Our system is built to efficiently handle high-volume submissions while maintaining strict standards for accuracy, document validation, and compliance. By centralizing intake and document collection on a purpose-built platform, UMT reduces administrative burden for law firms and claimants, minimizes delays through clear submission requirements, and ensures every claim is properly verified before advancing in the process.

At UMT, required intake documentation may vary slightly depending on the specific mass tort program, but most claim submissions rely on a standard set of supporting materials to establish eligibility, exposure, and injury. Commonly requested documents include: 

• Government-issued identification: Used to confirm claimant identity and ensure accurate matching across intake and claims systems. 
• Proof of exposure or use: Documentation showing connection to the subject product, drug, device, or location (e.g., prescription records, purchase history, employment or exposure site records, or other program-specific proof). 
• Medical records supporting injury or diagnosis: Clinical documentation confirming diagnosis, treatment history, and causation indicators relevant to the alleged harm. 
• Proof of residency or employment (when applicable): Used when eligibility depends on geographic exposure, workplace exposure, or time-based residency requirements. 
• Attorney representation agreements (if represented): Required documentation confirming legal representation and authorizing UMT to communicate with counsel on the claimant’s behalf. 

UMT’s Intake Support team reviews all submitted documents to ensure they meet program criteria and are sufficient for verification and downstream claims processing. 

At UMT, Intake Support uses a structured, multi-step validation process to ensure all submitted claimant information is accurate, complete, and compliant with case requirements before a claim advances to the next stage of administration. Our verification process typically includes: 

• Initial completeness review: Every submission is checked for required fields, signatures, and core documentation before any substantive review begins. 
• Document consistency checks: UMT compares claimant-provided information across intake forms, medical records, and exposure documentation to identify discrepancies or missing links. 
• Medical and exposure validation: When applicable, supporting records are reviewed to confirm diagnosis, treatment history, and alignment with alleged product use or exposure criteria defined by the settlement or litigation protocol.
• Duplicate and fraud screening: Submissions are screened against internal systems to detect duplicate filings, inconsistencies, or potential indicators of fraudulent claims. 
• Attorney and representation confirmation (if applicable): For represented claimants, UMT verifies attorney authorization and ensures proper engagement documentation is on file.

Once verification is complete, claims are either moved forward for processing, placed into deficiency status with a request for correction, or flagged for further review, depending on findings.  

UMT’s intake verification process balances efficiency with accuracy, ensuring that valid claims progress without unnecessary delay while maintaining the integrity of the overall administration program. 

At UMT, protecting claimant data is a core operational priority. All intake and document collection processes are designed with strict security, privacy, and compliance controls to safeguard sensitive personal and medical information throughout the lifecycle of a claim. 

Key security measures include: 

• Encrypted data transmission and storage. 
• Secure claimant portal access. 
• Role-based permissions. 
• Secure document handling protocols. 
• Fraud and intrusion monitoring. 

These safeguards are applied across every stage of intake and document collection to ensure claimant information remains confidential, secure, and properly protected within the UMT administration environment.
