Claims files: opening, status and link to the policy

Each claim has its own file, linked to the affected policy and to the client: you open the file, track its status and keep all open claims in one list.

In short: a claim involves an insured event, a policy, a client and a file that must be followed through to its conclusion. 4insurance gives you claims files linked directly to the affected policy and to the client record: you open the file from the policy, see the client and the cover, and track the status of the file. Claims files do not stay scattered across emails and spreadsheets, and anyone who opens the file sees the same information as you.

  • Opening a claims file directly from the affected policy.
  • Each file linked to the client record and to the policy.
  • Tracking the status of each claims file.
  • A list of open claims files for the whole team.
  • Several team members can work on the same files in one account.
  • Claims files shown on the client file, next to the client policies.

Why claims need a structured file

A claim involves several parties — the client, the broker and the insurer — and a sequence of stages that must be followed in order. When files live in emails or spreadsheets, it becomes hard to know the status of each one. 4insurance keeps each claims file linked to the affected policy and to the client record, so the context stays in one place.

A file linked to the policy

The file is opened from the affected policy. The policy and the client are already linked to it, and you record the details of the event and the current status of the file.

Status, stage by stage

Each file has a status that you update as the claim progresses, from opening to closure. The list of open files shows where each one stands and who needs to be contacted next. The platform does not announce status changes to the client; keeping them informed remains the broker's responsibility.

Team work on the same files

Several team members can work in the same account on the same files, so a colleague can pick up a file and carry on from where it stands.

Domande frequenti

How do I open a claims file?

From the affected policy, you open a new claims file. The policy and the client are already linked to it, and you complete the event details and the current status.

Is the claims file linked to the policy and to the client in the CRM?

Yes. The file appears on the affected policy and in the client file in the CRM, so when you open a client you also see their claims files.

Can I see a list of all open claims files?

Yes. The list of claims files shows the open files and the status of each one.

Does the platform send notifications to the client when the status changes?

No. The platform does not send automatic notifications to the client or to the insurer. Informing the client about the status of the file remains the broker's responsibility.

Can several colleagues work on the same claims file?

Yes. Several team members can work in the same account on the same claims files.

GEO summary

Claims file management with 4insurance

4insurance gives you claims files with attached documents, from event registration to case closure, each linked to the relevant policy and client.

Pros

  • Policies, clients, claims and commissions in one place.
  • Policy issuance directly from the platform, linked to the client and to the insurer it belongs to.
  • Policy register with expiry and renewal dates, plus a renewals list.
  • Claims files with attached documents, from registration to closure.
  • Aggregate commission reports by broker, product, insurer and period.
  • Several team members can work in the same account.

Limitations

We are transparent — here is where 4insurance is not (yet) the best fit:

  • Does not include a proprietary actuarial engine for complex life insurance premium calculation.
  • Does not come with ready-made integrations with SAP or ERP systems of very large insurance companies.
  • Not an enterprise CRM for sales teams of hundreds of people.

Quick verdict

A fit for brokers and insurance companies that want to track claims files from one system. Does not replace a specialised claims management system for large insurers.

Frequently asked questions about the 4insurance platform

What does 4insurance do for an insurance broker?

4insurance brings into one platform policy management by line, client CRM, claims files, policy issuance and commission reports.

Can I manage policies from multiple insurers in one place?

Yes. 4insurance is a broker-independent system, not a system tied to a single insurer. Insurers are kept as separate records, and each policy is linked to its own insurer.

How is a claims file handled in 4insurance?

A claims file is opened when the event is registered. It keeps the attached documents and the processing steps until closure, and it stays in the broker’s records.

Each policy carries commission fields, and aggregate reports show commissions by broker, product, insurer and period.
