Why File an Insurance Claim.

Tools To Simplify, Speed Up, and Improve the Insurance Claim

It isn't hard to recognize the advantages of working with an electronic claims system. As an insurance agent or homeowner in Greenville, NC, any tool that increases access to information, heightens the accuracy of the information and makes it easier to share facts and findings is beneficial. Take a closer look at how the SERVPRO electronic claims system helps you:

A Digital Solution That Saves Time

In the past, gathering records and documentation meant traveling to many locations, waiting for paperwork to arrive through the mail, or hoping that faxed information came through clearly. When these files needed to be shared and accessed by many parties, the possibility of mistakes increased and so did the time spent waiting. Today, with electronic files, the information for your insurance claim is entered into an online system and ready to be accessed almost immediately. The same digital file is available to every professional involved in the claim, so there are fewer possibilities for mistakes and misunderstandings.

Simpler Solutions at Lower Costs

A lot of money is spent storing paperwork, providing security for those files, and keeping information safe from humidity and other possible threats. An electronic database takes up less room than rows and rows of filing cabinets. The need for security is reduced because there's less space to protect. The same is true for the steps taken to protect the building from extreme weather, trespassing and vandalism, and normal wear and tear. Even custodial costs are decreased when there aren't any dusty basements to worry about.

This isn't the only way that costs are reduced. Electronic files are stored where individuals can access them from desktops, laptops, smartphones, and other devices. Insurance companies, adjusters, homeowners, and other involved parties don't have to spend as much money purchasing paper, envelopes, stamps, and other physical supplies.

Information Storage Created by Restoration Professionals

If you've used multiple software systems, you've probably recognized that some are easy to use, and others are difficult to navigate. The SERVPRO electronic database and claims system was created by professionals who fully understand the cleaning and restoration industry. The various pages, files, and components of the system are well-suited to ease of use by industry professionals. The system isn't plagued by unwieldy or confusing twists and turns.

Preventative Problem-Solving in One Database

When restoration professionals, insurance adjusters, and agents all have access to an electronic claims service, it is easier to complete each insurance claim. The many benefits created by this database of information limit the opportunities for mistakes cut the filing time significantly, and reduce unnecessary costs.
