Recorded Claims Statements
At the heart of every insurance claim investigation is the recorded statement. A recorded claim statement is a question and answer session where the insurer interviews the claimant and others about the facts and circumstances of a claim. Usually conducted over the telephone, information is gathered enabling the insurer to determine what their claim exposure, if any, is.
Some key benefits of having a recorded claims statement program in your claims department are:
- Having a claim statement recording (and if necessary a transcript) can mean the difference between winning and losing a subrogation case, because it collects firsthand information of the loss and shortens the time taken to research and plan for litigation.
- The transcription of statements is a valuable fraud detection tool. If the claim ever proceeds to litigation, the transcripts become evidence.
- The benefits of outsourcing a recorded claims statement program saves claims handlers and adjusters valuable time and energy, allowing them to focus on their core responsibilities.
- Transcription of statements allows newly assigned adjusters to get up to speed on a claim quickly.
Typing every word (verbatim transcription) requires special skills and talent. Consider the fact that every recorded claim statement is unique, each presenting a different set of challenges, from foreign accents, regional accents, street slang, crosstalk, rambling, whispering and disjointed speaking, to multiple participants and telephone line noise, just to name a few.
Having a transcription provider with the experience and ability necessary to tackle these issues is the difference maker in you realizing all the benefits of having a claims’ transcription program of your own.
