Our Claims Philosophy
We adopt a professional, compassionate and positive approach to claims management and actively seek to keep members at the heart of everything we do.
- We’ll communicate the process clearly;
- We at all times treat our claimants, members and their beneficiaries with the utmost respect and empathy;
- We’ll pursue claims with the Insurer on the member’s behalf that we consider both reasonable and to have a reasonable prospect of success; and
- We’ll make prompt payments on successful claims.
