About Claims Assistance
We have had some results that insurance companies have confided that they would never have offered anyone else. These results have been testament to the hard work, research, assistance and relationships we have and are able to provide.
As we are not solicitors, Insurance companies like dealing with us and are happy for us to work with them to seek a resolution for our clients. This is because we approach each matter in a non-adversarial and conciliatory manner.
We also take the time to understand in detail what you are enduring, so we can empathise with you. This provides us with a much stronger understanding and background. This allows us to turn you from writing on a page to a detailed story, ensuring your complete situation is known to your insurer.
Cost
The cost of our service varies depending on the assistance required. We can normally determine the cost after an initial telephone or face to face conversation and review of your policies (which we will not cost you anything). Depending on your situation we may charge an hourly fee, a fixed amount or agree on some other arrangement. We can determine this after we discuss with you your situation. We generally only charge on the successful completion of a claim, so our success is contingent on your success.
Our clients have always been very happy to pay as it is a result of their delight at their claim being paid.

How Insurance Claims Assistance Works
Initial discussion
We schedule an initial discussion where we spend the time to understand your health issues, find out about your history and learn how your life is effected.
We then help you understand the claims process, timings, costs and what you can expect when dealing with your insurance company or companies.
Preparing your insurance claim
We work with you to prepare your insurance claims. We assist in gathering the information required by the insurance company. We liaise with your insurer(s) to determine what extra information they might need. We take extra time during the preparation process to save time during the assessment process.
We know what insurers need to properly assess your insurance claim. We make sure we gather as much information up front as possible to cut down on decision time.
We'll follow up to make sure your claim is processed quickly, so you can focus on your health.

Have a question about TPD insurance Sydney?
I have been a customer of Greg and would recommend him for his services in personal insurance. He has worked hard as the intermediary with my insurance company and has come up with an excellent result given the circumstances of my situation. It is most unlikely I would have had this outcome without his assistance.
