Term Of The Day – Associate In Claims
The Associate In Claims designation (that I possess) is sponsored by the Insurance Institute of America (IIA). The AIC aids in overall claims handling proficiency. I do recommend it if you have chosen insurance claims as a career path.
A professional designation designed to provide claims professionals with enhanced skill training to handle different types of claims. Areas of study in the Associate in Claims (AIC) program include: claim handling principles, managing bodily injury claims, property loss adjusting and liability claim practices. The program is typically geared towards professional working in the insurance industry
The most difficult one for me was AIC 33 as it covered such a vast amount of material.
AIC 33: Activities in the Claim Process, Basic Investigation, Fraud Detection, Good Faith Claim Handling, Ethics, Negotiation Skills, and Litigation Management.
AIC 34: Workers’ Compensation System, Compensability, Statutory Benefits, Bodily Injury Claim Management, Injury and Treatment Evaluation, Impairment and Disability, Rehabilitation, Low Back Injury Claims, Medical Investigation, and Assessing Treatments and Disability.
AIC 35: Persons/Property Insured, Causes of Loss, Loss Adjusting Process and
Procedures, Fraud, Residential Construction, Preparing Estimates, Merchandise/Time Element Loss, Auto Physical Damage, and Contractor’s Equipment.
AIC 36: Liability Investigation, Evaluation of Damages, Litigation Management, Auto/Home/Commercial Liability and Coverage Issues, Settlement and ADR Strategies, and Case Studies.
The IIA will be adding in an ethics course soon.
