The Value of an In-House Claims Team

Claims

When it comes to handling insurance claims, not all brokers are created equal. Many brokers simply act as middlemen, referring claimants directly to insurers and stepping away from the process. At Quality Care Group, we do things differently. Our in-house claims team is dedicated to providing hands-on support, ensuring a smooth, efficient, and proactive claims journey. This approach delivers significant value at all levels, for domiciliary care insurance to care home insurance and corporate care groups.

The Pitfalls of Standard Broker Claims Handling

For many care providers, dealing with insurance claims can be time-consuming, stressful, and uncertain. Traditional brokers often refer clients directly to the insurer, meaning:

  • Lack of Personalised Support – Claimants are left to navigate complex insurer processes alone.
  • Longer Resolution Times – Without direct oversight, delays in claims handling can arise.
  • Limited Advocacy – There’s no broker intervention to challenge unfair decisions or push for the best possible outcome.
  • Inconsistent Communication – Care providers may struggle to get timely updates on their claims.
The Quality Care Group Difference: In-House Claims Expertise

By maintaining an in-house claims team, we take full control of the process, offering benefits that standard brokers simply can’t match.
