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.
