Experienced Claims Handling
New York’s Administrators for the Professions, Inc. (AFP) have been handling medical malpractice claims since 1982 and manages all Pennsylvania PRI claims. All senior members of the department have been with the company for over 15 years and most have medical backgrounds. PRI’s philosophy has always been to hire skilled individuals with an extensive medical background and then train them on the claims handling. This gives peace of mind to our insureds that medically trained individuals oversee their medical malpractice claims.
Claims management is the core strength of Pennsylvania PRI and PRI, as both companies continue to seek new approaches to improve the record of success. The claims department remains dedicated to providing the insureds with the best possible defense. The teams of highly trained claims professionals, superb defense attorneys and excellent medical experts have built a very strong and successful reputation.
The claims professionals strive to improve performance by developing and expanding on the skills needed to provide insureds with the most beneficial resolutions. The claims department works closely with the policyholders during the claims management process, encouraging their active participation and involving them in key decisions. The malpractice lawsuit process can be one of the most stressful times in a healthcare provider’s career. The claims staff seeks to offer reassurance and perspective while mounting a vigorous defense. This is why the teams of highly trained claims professionals have been at the forefront of the industry in experience and continue to close more than the vast majority the claims without any payment. While choosing the right strategy for each case has been a proven formula for Pennsylvania PRI and PRI’s overall success, the companies’ reputation as a fighter could not be more appropriate.
