When you’re running a restoration business, your cash flow depends on consistent and timely water damage insurance invoice payments. You’ve probably heard about how factors like your documentation impact the speed of your water damage insurance invoice processing. But one factor influencing the speed of your payment that is easy to overlook is your availability.
Many water damage insurance invoices lead to questions or some level of pushback from insurance adjusters. In order to resolve these questions and disputes, someone at your restoration company needs to be able to speak with the adjuster. Sometimes, this communication comes in the form of a phone call from the adjuster. Other times, it comes as an email from the adjuster. But no matter the format, if you aren’t available to pick up the phone or answer emails quickly, it leads to unnecessary delays in your water damage invoice’s processing.
There are a lot of different pieces that go into running a water damage restoration business. It’s not uncommon for the person who handles water damage insurance invoicing to be the same person who handles many other roles, especially for small restoration businesses. It can be hard to answer a call from an adjuster when you’re busy managing a crew on-site. Even for water damage companies that have a designated insurance invoicing team member, it can be challenging to stay available for all your pending claims at the same time, especially during busy periods.
Unfortunately, not responding quickly to an adjuster can set off a chain reaction of delays. When an adjuster has a question about the bill but can’t get in touch with you, they aren’t able to wait around. They’ll move on to another water damage insurance invoice, effectively pushing your claim back to the end of the line.
