After you have submitted a claim, how do you minimize associated costs, shorten disability periods and eliminate fraud and abuse? This is where we earn our stripes and your trust as knowledgeable and experienced service providers.
- Expedited ReportingExpedited ReportingStudies have shown that lag times in reporting can increase claim costs. A study done by Hartford Financial Services Group found that claims reported a month late costs 45% more than those reported within the first week. Reporting lag times can be caused by a number of factors. At Keevily we will work with you to get the C2 (first report of injury) completed and to the appropriate person for expedited handling. We will also review all documents for accuracy and answer all your questions and concerns.
