Our goal is to continuously improve service to our policyholders. Toward this effort, we have developed a “watchful eye” through claims monitoring surveys. You will receive three claim monitoring surveys throughout the term of your claim.

The first survey is sent after your claim is 60 days old. This survey helps us to ensure that you are getting prompt attention and satisfactory service from the Claims Division and your defense attorney.

The second survey is sent after your claim has been internally reviewed. ISMIE uses its Physician Review Committee (PRC) to bring medical and surgical expertise to the internal review process. The defend/settle status of your claim is not determined by a group of insurance professionals, but by a group of physicians who practice medicine in private and managed care settings. Additionally, your ISMIE policy mandates that no claim can be settled without the written consent of the insured physician. This second survey gives us a “report card” of your level of satisfaction during the middle of your claim along with information on how we can better serve you during this difficult time.

The final survey is sent to the policyholder following the closing of the claim. You can now give us a “final grade” of our performance and level of service. Questions like: “Would you like the same claim representative if you had another claim?” and “To what level of satisfaction were you kept informed about your claim?” are critical to our dedication to improve our service to our policyholders.
