At present risk managers of large corporations often make decisions to purchase insurance cover only against large and catastrophic losses with high deductibles stipulated in the policies. In such situations RusSurvey® can provide the required support for insured parties in the administration of events resulting in losses being within the applicable deductibles.
The major part of banking, insurance and combined financial products is sold through retail channels (branches of banks and insurance companies; retail chains selling products to broad segments of the population, filling station chains, etc.) and requires a 24/7 support to customers when events attributable to an insured loss occurrence happen. Jointly with renowned assistance companies, RusSurvey® arranges informational and advisory support to customers, monitors the collection of necessary documents and interaction between the selected dedicated providers of medical and other services.
The main flow of incoming calls related to travel insurance are processed by RusSurvey® employees for holders of premium bank cards (gold ones and above) under the policies issued by insurance companies to banks for the benefit of their customers (cardholders). Extensive experience in the corporate business segment enables us to find effective practical solutions for demanding premium and VIP bank clients. Using modern technical own IT solutions, we constantly track the actual statuses of FNOLs and timely response to enquiries of the insured and other parties involved regarding each individual case.
The process of claims handling is based on the modern principle of desktop handling implying the minimum physical presence (involvement) of the claimant in the claims handling process, and the exchange of documents is arranged in electronic format for the analysis of all loss details and making of a principal decision. In most cases, the clients (the insured or their legal representatives) must provide originals of supporting documents after receiving the decision in their case.
The specialists of the International Programmes Department have considerable experience in handling of the claims related lo possible manufacturing defects in home appliances manufactured by world’s leading producers in the sector.
For more than five (5) years our specialists have been maintaining the claims administration programme of voluntary recall of healthcare products and ensuring effective interaction between patients, medical institutions, medical supplies sellers and manufacturers to resolve any issues in connection with the compensation for reasonable expenses incurred by the parties concerned. This project is a typical example of the work of an outsourced claims administrator in the cases that are not covered by insurance.
Our successful TPA work started in 2012 with the claims related to unintentional damage to portable electronic equipment is constantly developing owning to the increase in demand for the purchase of extended warranty by Russian buyers of electronic devices (mobile phones, smartphones, laptops, etc.). In case of damage to the device or its theft (robbery), the insured applies to our specialists who will promptly arrange the diagnostics and subsequent repair or replacement of the damaged or lost device through the network of service centres authorized by the insurance company.
Since mid-2015, a separate subdivision for domestic property loss appraisal has been operating at RusSurvey®; this subdivision is engaged in adjusting the losses related to damage to domestic property.
