Claims managers are responsible for handling the claims department to ensure that an effective review is conducted by the company in accordance with the law and regulations. They need to be highly thorough and capable of identifying small details that could suggest deliberate deception or even inaccurate facts. In order to successfully handle claims, companies rely on claims managers to provide expert feedback on the day-to-day procedures.
Claims managers' everyday responsibilities include, but are not limited to, developing and enforcing different claims processes and procedures, providing services to all company needs and ensuring optimum management of all claims, investigating all problems, and providing training to all business units. They are also in charge of reviewing all associated claims business divisions. Oftentimes they are tasked to provide training to new recruits to handle all pending claims and establish an effective duty program and work with the HR team to promote the same.
Many employers prefer candidates that have a bachelor's degree in a related field and at least one to three years of experience working in insurance claims or in a leadership position. It is important that candidates have strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
