BACKGROUND

Claims handling service is the basis on which an insurance company is ultimately judged by clients and the key issue affecting the reputation of the insurer. The payment of legitimate claims represents the delivery of the promise at the heart of the insurance contract. Indeed, for many insurance companies, excellent claims handling service is considered to be a differentiator that distinguishes them from the competition. Excellence in claims handling is a competitive edge for an insurance company and it is a service that clients greatly value. Payment of legitimate insurance claims for losses that have been suffered by the insured is the primary reason for buying insurance. Achieving excellence in claims handling should be a fundamental objective of any insurance company.
