How the Claims Process Works
While every claim is unique, our core process follows these steps to ensure integrity and speed:
- Notice of Loss: The Cedent submits a formal claim notification with supporting documentation.
- Review and Validation: Island Re’s specialists review the submission against treaty terms, ensuring coverage applicability and checking for compliance with reporting conditions.
- Quantification and Reserving: We analyze the quantum of the loss, confirm ceded calculations, and establish appropriate loss reserves.
- Payment Processing: Once validated and approved, payment is processed promptly, adhering to the payment schedule defined in the treaty.
- Final Resolution: The claim is monitored through final settlement, ensuring all necessary closing documents are complete.
