Work Experience
Claims Resolution Specialist
ACD - Carlsbad, CA
September 2022 to Present
Claims Resolution Specialist working in the “Files Uploaded” section of the waterfall. In this role, I make contact with the IA’s in an attempt to get them to upload their photos and estimates to the file so that the file can pass to our Audit team.
This position is critical because if the IA’s begin to delay their uploads, it adds cycle time to the entire file I attempt to keep the files moving by making phone calls when needed to IA's to verify inspection and obtain information about when files will be uploaded to complete the claim As a Claims Resolution Specialist, one of the main tasks is to document the files about calls made, texts sent, and conversations with owners, adjusters, and IA’s. In order to keep the file “on track” it is important to make sure all things are documented as the file proceeds from In Progress to Audit. Claims Representative
