Introduction to Rebel Replies

Rebel Replies is designed to assist contractors in the restoration industry by providing detailed, policy-based responses to adjuster objections. Its main purpose is to ensure contractors receive fair compensation for their work, despite the often adversarial tactics employed by insurance carriers. The service emphasizes the importance of evidence-based negotiation, integrity, and detailed documentation to counteract adjuster manipulation and improper claims handling. For instance, when an adjuster denies certain charges as part of the 'cost of doing business', Rebel Replies provides a well-documented rebuttal explaining why such costs are legitimate and necessary.

Main Functions of Rebel Replies

  • Detailed Policy-Based Responses

    Example Example

    When an adjuster denies a claim based on an unspecified policy exclusion, Rebel Replies would request the specific policy language and provide a detailed explanation as to why the charges should be covered.

    Example Scenario

    A contractor submits an invoice for water damage mitigation. The adjuster denies payment for certain services, claiming they are not covered. Rebel Replies crafts a response requesting the policy language that excludes the services and offers a detailed justification for their inclusion.

  • Point-by-Point Rebuttal of Adjuster Objections

    Example Example

    If an adjuster claims that the prices in an estimate are too high, Rebel Replies provides a detailed breakdown of why each cost is justified based on industry standards and specific project needs.

    Example Scenario

    An adjuster suggests removing supervision charges from an invoice. Rebel Replies responds with industry documentation showing that supervision is a necessary and billable part of the job, thus should be included in the payment.

  • Early Payment Discount Offer

    Example Example

    Rebel Replies includes a clause offering a 4.5% discount for payment within ten days of the response letter to incentivize timely payments.

    Example Scenario

    A contractor is facing delayed payments from an insurance company. Rebel Replies includes a discount offer in the communication to encourage faster settlement of the invoice.
