When a loss occurs on the same day as the policy inception, claims associates must verify that the loss occurred after the policy was bound with GEICO what are what two things do we need to verify before agreeing to cover for damages?
Confirm the time the policy was bound via OPIQ
2.Confirm the time the loss occurred via a third party verification
Examples of time of loss verification include: • A police report • A tow bill
• A witness, or independent 3rd party
start with 9100
•have 10 digits

If the customer had repairs completed at a shop of their choice, explain that the customer should contact the shop to resolve. You should also advise the AD adjuster in case the customer has questions about the estimate or needs further assistance. Explain the nature of the inquiry to the AD adjuster if their involvement is needed.
Advise 1st Party coverage if no CCs. Only coverage's CSRs would normally discuss; no PIP/MED.
Damaged helmets are only covered when the helmet is being worn by the rider and receives damages from a collision loss or a comprehensive loss with a bird or animal. Damaged helmets are not covered when the helmet falls off the motorcycle.

Selecting the most accurate loss description is critical. Situations arise in which more than one loss description may appear applicable to the facts of the loss. The Hit and Run Loss Types for both (both At-Fault and Non-Fault) will always supersede other possible loss descriptions.
CSR should NEVER discuss liability or coverage's on a theft or fire claim
Theft adjusters have 2 hour tip for new losses received before 3pm)

GEICO Auto Damage adjusters are required to offer Diminished Value in Georgia. The Reserve Line must be open for the Auto Damage Adjuster to issue a payment. With the release on April 16, 2016, ATLAS will now auto-open the Diminished Value Reserve Line when a Collision or Comprehensive Exposure is opened with a risk state of Georgia.
Verify Physical Damage payments (COLL, COMP, Property Damage, REN, LOU, DOV, etc.) Verify Medical payments (MED, PIP, BI, UM, etc.) if requested by a Check Cashing Company only.

Several no-fault states require insurers that issue insurance policies in their states provide out-of state insureds with no-fault coverage when the insured sustains MVA-related injuries while operating his vehicle within the state. This roll on, or deemer coverage, may be more generous than the PIP benefits provided by the insured’s own policy. When this occurs, the handling adjuster may need to open up (a Deemer Exposure).”
These criteria must be updated within 15 days of known information to avoid a delay in converting handling complete to “Yes.”
Auto Damage Adjusters and the Powersports team have a current process for motorcycle claims involving accessory coverage. Therefore, it is not necessary for CSRs and Liability Adjusters to review the Coverage Condition Code (Cyclegard Endorsement On A Vehicle). CSRs and Liability Adjusters will resolve the Coverage Condition Code 28 (Cyclegard Endorsement On A Vehicle) in ATLAS without calling Cycle Coverage Gate. Enter ‘Cycle Endorsement’ in the comments section of FNOL or ATLAS Policy/Coverage page.
