Managing insurance claims and collections is one of the biggest challenges for restoration contractors. Between navigating adjuster negotiations, tracking payments, and ensuring steady cash flow, many contractors find themselves overwhelmed. That’s where One Claim Solution comes in. Today, we’re going to dive into the value that partnering with OCS can provide for your restoration business.
OCS acts as an extension of restoration businesses, handling restoration claims management, negotiation, and accounts receivable (AR). Here’s how OCS delivers value to restoration contractors and helps them streamline their business operations:
Cash flow is the lifeblood of restoration businesses. Delays in insurance payouts can create cash flow issues, making it harder to cover payroll, materials, and other expenses. OCS speeds up collections, helping contractors get paid faster. By proactively managing claims and staying in constant communication with insurance adjusters, OCS reduces payment wait times, giving restoration contractors more financial stability.
Many restoration contractors don’t enjoy or just don’t have time for the back-and-forth that is often required to get restoration insurance claims approved. OCS removes this burden by handling all insurance communication and negotiation on behalf of contractors.
“Some contractors see our value in terms of, ‘I don’t want to deal with it. I don’t want to take the call. I don’t want to deal with the adjuster,’” Jeremy Traasdahl, Co-Founder of OCS, explains. By outsourcing restoration claims management to OCS, contractors can focus on their core business instead of spending hours on the phone with insurance carriers.
Incomplete or inaccurate documentation is one of the biggest reasons insurance claims get delayed or denied. OCS ensures that every claim is submitted with the right details, reducing denials and speeding up approvals. Whether it’s detailed estimates, photos, or supporting documents, OCS makes sure all the documentation their contractors provide is in place so contractors don’t have to worry about claims getting stuck in the system.
Some restoration contractors simply do not have much insight into their accounts receivable. OCS provides a contractor portal that gives real-time insights into claims, outstanding invoices, and revenue forecasting.
“We give contractors visibility into their AR and jobs in ways that no other software does,” says Jeremy. “You can see what stage your claim is in, when payments are expected, and how it impacts your cash flow.”
Josh Ehmke, Co-Founder of OCS, agrees, adding, “The feedback we often get from contractors after just a few months with OCS is, ‘Oh man, I’ve never had this type of visibility and clarification into my AR. I know where everything’s at.’” With detailed analytics and AI-driven forecasting, OCS helps contractors anticipate revenue, make better financial decisions, and avoid cash flow surprises.
Turning over accounts receivable to a third party can feel like a big leap for contractors. OCS understands this concern and builds trust through transparency.
OCS has been refining its process for over eight years, developing industry-specific expertise that helps contractors collect payments better, faster, and more efficiently than they could on their own. “Ultimately, we believe we’re not only better and faster, but we’re also going to be an improvement to your bottom line,” Jeremy says.
It’s a new year, and many restoration businesses are making 2025 goals.
