    Choosing the Right Claims Support Provider

    Not all claims support services are created equal. Here's what to look for when selecting a provider to represent your interests.

    Key Factors to Consider:

    Industry Experience: Look for providers with at least 5+ years in insurance claims, not just general administration
    Insurer Relationships: Established connections with major Kenyan insurers speed up processing and improve outcomes
    Transparent Pricing: Avoid providers with hidden fees or unclear cost structures. Get everything in writing
    Success Track Record: Request case studies or references from previous clients with similar claims
    Communication Style: Choose providers who communicate in ways you prefer and provide regular updates
    Professional Credentials: Look for certifications, insurance qualifications, and regulatory compliance

    Red Flags:

    • - Guaranteed claim approval (no one can guarantee outcomes)
    • - Pressure to sign immediately without review time
    • - Requests for insurance passwords or sensitive credentials
    • - Unusually low prices (typically indicates limited service)
    • - Poor online reviews or regulatory complaints

    Real Claims Support Scenarios

    See how professional claims support makes a difference in real situations faced by Kenyans every day.

    Scenario 1: Hospital Admission Guarantee Letter

    Situation: Sarah's father needed emergency surgery at Aga Khan Hospital. The hospital required a guarantee letter from the insurer before admitting him, but it was 8 PM on Saturday.

    Support Provided: Emergency claims team contacted the insurer's duty officer, prepared required documentation, and secured the guarantee letter within 45 minutes.

    Outcome: Surgery proceeded without delay. Claim of KES 680,000 fully approved.

    Scenario 2: Motor Accident Claim Dispute

    Situation: John's comprehensive motor insurance claim was denied after an accident, with the insurer citing "policy breach" without clear explanation. Initial claim: KES 450,000.

    Support Provided: Policy review revealed no actual breach. Filed formal appeal with legal justification, documented insurer's failure to follow proper denial procedures, and escalated to IRA.

    Outcome: Full claim approved within 3 weeks after appeal. Client received KES 450,000 plus KES 15,000 for rental car costs.

    Scenario 3: Medical Claim Documentation Issues

    Situation: Grace submitted a medical claim for cancer treatment but was missing several required documents. The insurer kept requesting additional items, causing 6-week delays.

    Support Provided: Comprehensive document audit identified all missing items, coordinated with hospital and doctors to obtain proper reports, organized everything into compliant claim package.

    Outcome: Complete claim package submitted. Full approval of KES 1.2M claim within 10 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I need claims support if I have a broker?

    Brokers help you buy insurance, but many don't actively support claims processing. Claims support specialists focus exclusively on maximizing your claim success after an incident occurs. You can use both services together.

    How long does the claims process typically take?

    Simple claims (outpatient medical, minor motor): 5-14 days. Standard claims (hospitalization, property damage): 2-6 weeks. Complex claims (major medical, total loss, disputes): 6-12 weeks. Professional support typically reduces these timeframes by 30-50%.

    What if my claim is denied?

    Denial is not the end. Many denied claims are successfully appealed with proper documentation and advocacy. Our Advocacy Package specializes in overturning denials - we only get paid if we recover your claim.

    Can you work with any insurance company in Kenya?

    Yes. We have experience with all major Kenyan insurers including Britam, Jubilee, APA, Madison, CIC, AAR, Resolution, and others. We understand each company's specific requirements and processes.

    Will using claims support affect my premiums?

    No. Filing legitimate claims (with or without support) is your right as a policyholder. Premiums are affected by claim frequency and amount, not whether you use professional support to file them.

    Do you need access to my insurance account?

    No. We never need your passwords or login credentials. We work on your behalf with proper authorization letters, which you can revoke at any time. You maintain full control of your insurance accounts.

    Expert Tips for Successful Claims

    Professional insights to improve your claim success rate and avoid common pitfalls that lead to delays or denials.

    Before an Incident:

    Know Your Coverage: Read your policy and understand what's covered, exclusions, and claim procedures before you need to file
    Keep Records: Maintain digital copies of your insurance documents, receipts for valuable items, and photos of property
    Update Contact Info: Ensure your insurer has current phone numbers and email addresses for quick communication

    When Filing a Claim:

    Report Immediately: Notify your insurer within 24 hours of incidents. Late reporting is a common denial reason
    Document Everything: Take photos, get witness contacts, save all receipts, and keep copies of all correspondence
    Be Accurate: Never exaggerate or provide false information - this can void your entire policy
    Get Reference Numbers: Always obtain claim numbers, case IDs, and names of people you speak with

    During the Process:

    Follow Up Weekly: Regular follow-ups prevent your claim from being forgotten or delayed
    Keep Communication Professional: Stay polite but persistent. Emotional conversations rarely help your case
    Request Written Explanations: If your claim is delayed or denied, always get the reason in writing
    Don't Accept Low Settlements Immediately: You can negotiate. Get independent valuations for significant claims
