An enhanced claims experience for your clients
At OnePath, we believe we all play a part in ensuring successful claims outcomes for your clients. As your trusted life insurance partner, our team of dedicated specialists are here to help you find the right life insurance for your clients, and show them how their cover can protect them if they ever need to make a claim.
You can support your clients along their claims journey by:
- Helping your clients know what they’re covered for. The more we educate your clients on their life insurance policies, the more likely they are to have a positive claims experience. That’s why it’s vital that your clients understand what they’re eligible for, as well as any exclusions that may apply to their policy.
- Getting to know your clients. When you apply for a life insurance policy on behalf of your client, it’s important to ask them questions about their health using everyday language that’s easy to understand. We take the complexity and jargon out of insurance, so your clients can be confident that they’re giving you the right information. This approach can make all the difference at claim time.
- Explaining the claims process. When your clients submit a claim, they’re probably already going through an emotionally challenging experience, like an injury or serious illness. We make it easier for you to help your clients understand their insurance cover and the claims process, so they know what to expect at every stage.
