Authorization to practice as an insurance claim professional in the state necessitates meeting specific regulatory criteria. This credential allows individuals to investigate, evaluate, and settle insurance claims on behalf of an insurer or self-insured entity within the state’s legal framework. For example, an individual seeking to independently handle property damage claims resulting from a hurricane must hold this authorization.
Possessing this professional authorization safeguards the interests of both insurers and policyholders. It ensures a standardized level of competence and ethical conduct in claims handling, promoting fair and accurate claim settlements. The requirement has evolved over time to adapt to the increasing complexity of insurance products and the need for consumer protection.
