An electronic claims service can facilitate filing and processing an insurance claim. These services are designed to benefit insured parties, insurance representatives and restoration professionals. There are three major benefits to services such as the SERVPRO Claims Information Center.

1. Easy Access

It should be easy for parties involved in the processing of a claim to be able to view data and track the process through an online service. By logging onto an electronic claims service, an insurance agent should be able to access:

• Collected data on claims, damage and cost
  
• Individual claim information
  
• Mitigation and restoration company comparisons
  
  

All of this information can help an agent or adjuster make sure that a claim is accurate and complete. The ease of accessing an electronic service can also reduce communication-related delays that may otherwise slow down the claim filing process.

2. Extensive Data

In addition to having access to an estimate and claim information for an individual insured party, an electronic claims service should also offer access to other useful data. Specifically, it can be useful to compare:

• Causes of loss
  
• Job file costs
  
• Response times
  
• Types of claims
  
  

This data can help an insurer make sure that the amounts of an insurance claim or estimate are reasonable compared to other claims filed in a county, state, region or nationwide.

3. Expedited Processing

One of the most significant advantages to electronic claims services is the elimination of several common causes of delays in settling a claim. Fewer back-and-forth communications between an insurance agent and mitigation and restoration company should be necessary when information is readily available through an electronic resource.

Every one of these benefits of electronic claims services is available through the SERVPRO Claims Information Center. This resource, combined with the company's all-in-one mitigation and restoration services, allows for faster insurance claim settlements after damage to a residence in Lafayette Hill, PA.
