David, why would you seek a title that you "hate"? You made similar comments when you spoke at the The Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters conference. Surely the best loss assessor is the one who delivers the best customer journey and achieves the best outcomes for their clients whilst being recognised as professional and being respected by the industry as a whole. I'm surprised that someone who has been as successful as you doesn't recognise the concept of value. When you were at AXA did you advocate for free insurance or did you recognise that the reason people chose to insure with you was that for a higher premium they would receive a better product and service than (for example) an online direct product underwritten by a lloyds syndicate that carried a significantly cheaper premium? Do Charles Taylor Sedgwick and Crawford & Company deliver the same level of service as Trinity Claims? No, they charge insurers a higher fee for better quality of service. As with most things in life you get what you pay for... Perhaps the reason Qlaims Limited occupies the percentage of the 'insured product' space that it does (as against Lorega Ltd) is that you are so focussed on price instead of quality of service. #BCAWARDS #insurance #claims

Second Random Selection from Previously Submitted Registrations Complete for FY 2025 H-1B Regular Cap Release Date 08/05/2024 USCIS recently announced that we would need to select additional registrations for unique beneficiaries to reach the fiscal year 2025 H-1B regular cap numerical allocation. Our projections indicate we have now randomly selected a sufficient number of registrations for unique beneficiaries as needed to reach the regular cap from the remaining properly submitted FY 2025 registrations. Additionally, we have notified all prospective petitioners with selected registrations from this round of selection that they are eligible to file an H-1B cap-subject petition for the beneficiary named in the applicable selected registration. Only petitioners with selected registrations may file H-1B cap-subject petitions for FY 2025, and only for the beneficiary named in the applicable selected registration notice. We did not conduct a second selection for the advanced degree exemption (the master’s cap), as enough masters cap registrations had already been selected and sufficient petitions were received based on these registrations as projected to meet the masters cap numerical allocation. https://lnkd.in/gc_Jz8_i

It’s now been 250 days (or thereabouts) since being appointed as the chair of the @Association of British Insurers (#ABI) Personal Injury Committee. Over the last few months, we’ve been working hard to ensure the industry views on personal injury topics are fully understood and that we have an aligned approach. This then enables the ABI to share these views with the key decision makers to hopefully ensure that political, legal and regulatory policy decisions lead to the desired positive outcome for customers and genuinely injured claimants alike. There is a huge amount on the agenda over the coming year which will have a material impact on the potential cost of injury claims and ultimately impacts the pocket of every tax payer in the UK. Key issues that we’ll be tackling in the new year include the review of the discount rate, potential increases in the whiplash tariff, the knock on impact to the Small Claims Track limit of increasing damages as well as ongoing developments in the fixed recoverable costs regime, to name but a few. With so much on the agenda it’s a particularly exciting time to work closely with the ABI to help shape and influence public policy for the benefit of our customers and genuine claimants. Looking forward to a successful partnership in the coming year! 

In continuation of my above post: I kindly request that IRDA give serious consideration to these suggestions and explore ways to improve the claims processing system. Your efforts in addressing these concerns would undoubtedly contribute to a more equitable and responsive insurance industry in India.   I gather the government is planning to bring a separate mechanism for commercial dispute resolution. This would be a great move in the right direction. The IRDA too can take proactive steps immediately to implement the suggestions I have made by creating a database of Arbitrators with subject-matter expertise.   I took forward to hearing your thoughts and actions taken in response to these recommendations.   In the meantime, I am posting this letter on LinkedIn so that we have the benefit of feedback from stakeholders."     Sincerely   K.S.

Two years into the No Surprised Act, CMS remains unable to handle appeals on a timely basis. CMS started out year one with poor guidance on implementation policy and rules. It is really no surprise that the volume of Dispute Resolutions would be massive. The next step should really be to 'pause' the NSA and have payers pay billed changes like before the NSA. This should give CMS time and motivation to get it right. PROVIDERS need relief from the NSA.
