Why our Claim Intake Specialist is Important:
A company buys insurance for financial security in exchange for a promise on coverage. When an injury or loss occurs, the injured worker expects to receive medical treatment and disability compensation in a timely manner. Timely delivery is the heart of the claims function and process. Our Claim Intake Specialist carries out our promise, "Proudly Taking Care of Hawai`i" and plays a vital role in supporting our internal staff and policyholders. Training will be provided.
