Managing Claims on Behalf of Another Entity
Objective
To effectively track and manage claims in ClaimWizard when working on behalf of another entity, such as an attorney or a third-party company.
Key Steps
- Accessing Open Claims
- Navigate to the Open Claims section in ClaimWizard.
- If the "On Behalf Of" column is not visible, go to Options > Columns in the workbench, toggle it on, and save.
- Adjust the column position by dragging it if needed.
- Adding On Behalf Of Information
- Access the client record for the policyholder associated with the claim.
- Ensure that the client record reflects the policyholder's information.
- In the "On Behalf Of" field, enter the name of the entity you are representing (e.g., attorney's firm, a o b company).
- Save the changes to update the record.
- Viewing and Managing Claims
- Use the search bar in the Workbench to easily locate claims associated with the entity you are representing.
- Utilize sorting options to organize and filter claims as needed.
- Export or print the filtered list for further reference.
Cautionary Notes
- Always ensure that the client record in ClaimWizard represents the policyholder, not the entity you are representing.
- The "On Behalf Of" field is a free-form text field and should accurately reflect the entity's name.
Tips for Efficiency
- Use the Alt key to quickly jump to client records from claim details.
- Manually add "On Behalf Of" information in the client record if it is not available in fast entry.
- Regularly update client records with accurate information to keep claims management clear and organized.
