Assistance, travel risk management and claims services for insurers

When you work with Charles Taylor Assistance there are four things that make us stand out from the crowd: 
 

Claims management

The true test of an insurance policy comes when a claim is made. We focus on the customer journey by working as an extension of your brand; adopting your values and investing heavily in agile technology, human expertise and specialist training.

Whether it’s a medical, baggage loss or travel cancellation claim, our team has in-depth knowledge of your policy wording and offers swift and efficient claims handling 24/7. We create a seamless claims journey that your customers can manage easily. This means offering maximum choice about how and when claims are submitted and payments are made. It also means providing personal, expert, support that befits a difficult situation overseas. By integrating automation into our claims process for low-value claims, we accelerate the claims journey, providing your customers with stress-free and efficient 24/7 electronic or phone-processing claims options.

And we support this with expert cost containment and medical case management.

Cost Containment

Do you have a medical claim to pay? If you do, why not bring it to the attention of our experienced and dedicated cost containment team to review the bill and confirm if the charges are reasonable and customary. If there is a saving/negotiation to be made, then our team can recommend the expected savings and negotiate the claim. The fee’s charged are a % of the overall saving so it really is a ‘no win, no fee’ service.

Medical Screening

Our highly-skilled team handles thousands of calls each month relating to pre-existing medical conditions. The team is trained to handle calls sensitively, ensuring that all routine and complex medical conditions are recorded accurately. We offer dedicated lines and a fully branded service. Our service fully adheres to the FCA’s Treating Customers Fairly principles and complaint handling procedures.

‘Antidote’ Online Medical Screening Tool

Antidote is our online medical screening solution, built on 25 years’ experience in medical screening, and supporting insurers, brokers and aggregators. Antidote streamlines your customers’ journey and enables more accurate underwriting.

Travel Advice and Pre-deployment analysis

International Assistance
