The critical impact of effective claim handling on the success of your business

May 7 | 2:00 PM


Whether you handle your claims in-house, use a TPA, or rely on your carriers claims processing, managing this process in an effective way can make or break your business.

You can expect to hear discussions regarding:

  • Effective partnerships and expectations with your Carrier/ TPA
  • Reserving losses/setting IBNR 
  • Advantages and disadvantages of all three models
