An improved method and system to process insurance claims using a graphical user interface with structured data collection. The insurance claims processing software provides the user with an estimated value for a user specified insurance claim. An insurance claims processing software user uses a table of contents (TOC) display screen to display the steps associated with the processing of the insurance claim. The user selects any intermediary step from a structured list of steps, included in the table of contents, to view a display screen associated with the selected intermediary step and to provide user inputs. The structured list of steps, included in the table of contents, is dynamically and automatically updated in response to business rules and/or user inputs. As a final step, the insurance claims processing software displays the estimated value for the specified insurance claim.
