As the end of the year approaches, insurance adjusters face a unique combination of challenges and opportunities. From closing out claims to refreshing licenses and expanding professional knowledge, this is the perfect time to reflect, reorganize, and prepare for the year ahead.

Whether you’re an independent adjuster, a staff adjuster, or someone navigating the complexities of insurance claims, a strategic year-end plan can set you up for a successful year.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help insurance adjusters wrap up the year while leveraging AE21’s comprehensive continuing education (CE) resources.

Action Steps:

• Prioritize open claims by urgency and complexity.
• Review documentation to ensure all information is accurate and complete.
• Communicate with clients and stakeholders about any updates or timelines.
• Use this opportunity to fine-tune processes for improved efficiency in the upcoming year.

• Identify any shortfall in CE hours that need immediate attention.
• Explore AE21’s wide array of CE courses tailored specifically for adjusters to meet your state requirements efficiently.
