Account Handling Instructions
|
|
Account handling instructions describe how your claims are handled. Every insurance adjuster across the country who handles your claims has your account instructions. Some carriers have special names for their account instructions. But the bottom line is: To work effectively with your TPA or carrier, you must be familiar with your account instructions!
