Claims Advocacy
There for you every step of the way.
While carriers do their best to handle claims according to your policy, there are instances in which you need a claims advocate; someone who is going to maximize your benefits and make sure carriers are delivering on their promises in a timely and expedient manner.
Because policies can be open to interpretation, a claims advocate fights for you, ensuring that the carrier’s acceptance or denial of a claim is in keeping with the policy language.
Claims Resources
We recommend an in-person claims audit meeting at least once a year.
Our in-house claims team will work in conjunction with the carrier to assess open claims, reserve amounts and review for closure.
Valent Group Claims Management Team is your advocate through every step of the process.
