Reflecting on COVID and claims.
The arrival of COVID produced global challenges in every aspect of society, not least for the health sector. Thankfully, prior to the first lockdown our claims team had begun working towards an ‘expert provider’ network, which, during lockdown, were able to move seamlessly to delivering most of their services to the customer online. This ensured timely assessment (and most importantly safety of the customer pre vaccination availability) and little to no hold up with medical claim acceptance.
The key was the health professional providing their clinical opinion on whether they believed they could provide the service via Telehealth and thankfully for the customer, in most cases engagement could continue. Whilst we accepted this wasn’t ideal, we’ve received positive feedback from most customers to date.
Customers in advised rehabilitation plans don’t have to acquire a monthly medical certificate from their GP and we’re committed to making the process and claims journey as easy and smooth for our customers as possible.
If you have any feedback or queries regarding COVID and claims please feel free to get in touch.
