The Claims Adjuster’s Toolkit 3 Ways Insurance Companies Mislead You They won’t recognize the full scope of your medical needs.

They won’t discuss the fine print about your coverage or benefits. It’s always important to know exactly how you are covered. Too many people with insurance do not know the full scope of their coverage. Many adjusters are not going to walk you through your coverage and benefits line by line.
