Claims Process

FGIS understands that a claim incident can be daunting which is why we have implemented an internal in-depth claim process in order for us to effectively offer end-to-end assistance in your claim process. As part of our service to you as our clients, our dedicated claims team endeavors to assist and guide you in your claim process every step of the way. We handle your claim from start to finish, providing continuity, expertise, and advocating on your behalf with the providers. We'll not only save you time, but strive to make it as simple and hassle-free as possible for you.
Claim Incident Notification
Claim incident notification can be done either verbally by contacting our claims team over the phone in which case our friendly claims handler will discuss the claim incident with you and advise you of the next steps or alternatively a claim incident notification can be done via email to the claims team. A friendly claims team handler will then contact you and advise you of the next steps.

Completion of Claim Form
A claim form will be sent to you with concise instructions and relevant requirements for completion as well as contact details for our claims team should you have any queries or require assistance in completing the claim form. Once you have returned the completed claim form back to our dedicated claims team, we will submit your claim to the relevant insurance provider. You have the option of submitting a claim directly through to the insurance provider skipping us the broker – FGIS. In this instance unless you or the insurance provider notifies our claims team of this action, there is no way for our claims team to follow up on nor will we be aware that a claim exists. Should we, however, be made aware, then the claims process will continue as stipulated.
Claim Settlements and Finalization
Settlement offers are advised towards the end of the claim process. This will generally include a breakdown of the offer. We will always enquire as to your acceptance of the settlement offer and we will advocate on your behalf with the insurance providers for the best possible outcome.


Claim Follow Up
Claim follow ups are actioned throughout a particular claim's lifespan. Follow ups will always include claim acknowledgement, claim reference number and claim status. Requirement requests, status update requests and/or general updates are attended to as promptly as possible.
We strive to handle every claim fairly and efficiently. However, if you are not satisfied with the outcome or our service, you have the right to make a complaint. Please view our Complaints Process for more information on how we can resolve any issues, including access to our independent dispute resolution service (FSCL).
