When most people think about filing flood insurance claims, “easy” and “fast” might not be the first words that come to mind.

But innovators in flood insurance are leveraging technology to make the claims process just that. That’s in part thanks to remote adjusting, which allows policyholders to file a claim completely digitally, on their phones, from wherever they are.

In 2021, technology and process improvements will enable flood insurance policyholders to file claims on their own time, on their own terms. Here’s an overview of how remote adjusting can make that happen.

Remote Adjusting Makes Filing a Flood Insurance Claim a Lot Faster

Choice is an important part of customer experience today. Customers want to feel empowered to have control over how and when they use a service, and they want to communicate in a way that feels natural. Afterall, dealing with flood damage can be stressful, but filing a claim doesn’t have to be.

Remote adjusting gives digital natives the ability to file a flood insurance claim the same way they order food delivery on their phone. That’s especially assuring for tech-savvy Millennial property owners, who are now buying homes in record numbers. 

Nowadays customers of all ages expect instant service, too: 90 percent rate an “immediate” response as important or very important when they have a customer service question. With access to a mobile flood insurance platform, a policyholder doesn’t have to wait until the next business day to contact an agent or adjuster.

But mobile-friendly remote adjusting is just an option, not a new requirement. Some policyholders might still prefer to file their claim via mail and phone because that’s the method they’re used to. Those customers won’t be forced into digital systems, but the digital system is now available for the people who want it.
