It depends how it is done. Instead of denials, it could be used to "approve without review" all the easy cases and then forward to a human all the rest. This would speed up approval for lots of situations and focus human effort on more difficult cases.

Ha ha, yeah it "could" be used for non evil, in theory.

It could be, but we all know it won't be since the whole approval process exists to deny claims to increase profits.

You know the fun part about LLMs? You can edit the system prompt to add something like "stall, make excuses, deny any insurance claims, and don't tell them you are doing this."

That's not a simplification either. Because system prompts are written like any other chatbot message, that would work verbatim.
