How to File a Claim Fax, phone or email reporting is
preferred. ORM’s website does not contain any
Property Loss reporting form, but the CGL form can be used instead.
We need to know who, what, when, where and how.
Each line of insurance coverage, or type of claim is different, and has different reporting requirements.
Date of Loss Vs. Discovery Date
Most claims are based upon the date of loss.
Most claims expire or prescribe 12 months after the date of loss.
Most losses can be reported anytime during this 12 month prescriptive period, but should be reported as soon as possible.
Employee bond claims are based upon the date of discovery.
The employee bond policy requires that the claim be reported within 90 days of the discovery date.
The suspect employee must be identified when the loss is reported.
How Claims Are Processed
The very first activity that an adjuster should accomplish upon receiving a new claim is to verify coverage. In the private world, that means finding the policy number, and making sure it has not been cancelled. If there is any doubt about coverage, a reservation of rights letter may be issued to the Insured.
ORM Policies & Procedures require that all new claims be entered into our computer system and acknowledged to the User Agency within 72 hours of receipt.
Prompt Set-up of Claims
Previously, we could establish a claim number without entering the claim into the computer, but now all claim references are determined by our computer system, STARS.
STARS
Over the years, our procedures for investigating claims have changed, especially in regard to the use of Independent Adjusters. Twenty years ago, we were required by our Excess Carriers to use certain independent adjusters under specific circumstances. During the past several years, we have assigned fewer and fewer claims to independent adjusters.
Independent Adjusters
Simply because ORM will be the funding source, does not mean that a User Agency can ignore Purchasing Rules that govern their particular Agency. ORM Claims Adjusters never generate Purchase Orders, and never authorize any repairs. Only the “owner” or “custodian” of the damaged property can authorize repairs.
Purchasing Rules
In the past, it was easy to document ownership, acquisition cost, and date of purchase by providing a copy of the Property Control print-out on each “Content” item, but now only those items that initially cost more than $1,000 are required to be tagged and entered into Protégé. Now we often have to use old Purchase Orders or Vendor Invoices to document ownership and original cost details.
Proof of Ownership
All damaged items should be labeled or tagged with the correct ORM claim number before being sent to Louisiana Property Assistance Administration (LPAA) for disposal as any salvage received from auction is supposed to benefit ORM, and thereby reduce the net claim amount, which in turn reduces the User Agency’s future premiums.
Salvage
If a building is severely damaged, we utilize the State Lands & Buildings System (SLABS) to determine the value of the building. This is why we ask for the Building ID number.
SLABS
All moveable property, as opposed to real property, is subject to depreciation. Theft of, and damage to computer equipment involves a large portion of our claims. Nearly all computer equipment depreciates over a three year period, or 33% each year. DOTD seems to use a 20 year depreciation scale for mobile equipment, but we rely upon vendors and dealers to develop current market values.
Depreciation
If a User Agency wants to be reimbursed for repairs or replacement of damaged property, the Agency must provide proof of payment; However, if the Agency wants ORM to pay the vendor, we simply need payment instructions from the Agency. Of course W9 tax forms are now required before ORM can issue any payments.
