Re: Were not guilty

We don't write the scripts for the companies we hire to process our claims.
We are innocent of wrong doing.

HMMM..LYNX's affiliate Insurance companies DON'T write LYNX's scripts. Bel/Safe's affiliate Insurance companies DO write BelSafe's scripts.
Very Interesting how the blame shifts due to the circumstances.

what?

Re: Were not guilty

Now that is a hoot! All the networks say they do not write the scripts, and they do not set the price. Now that is just too funny! Just like politicians, "we are innocent it's everyone else's fault." YEA RIGHT!

Not that I really believe that you actually represent State Farm, but it doesn't make any difference who writes the script. The insurance company that hires the TPA is always responsible for what is in the script.

Re: Were not guilty

We have a contract with the TPA, we are named as an additional insured under the TPA's insurance policy. The farm doesn't insure the TPA. Sue away, we are untouchable.

The claims that are being administered are by your policyholders. As such, "the farm" is responsible for the actions of its TPA. I will give SF credit for contracting with glass shops directly, instead of through its TPA. I just don't understand why any shop would sign such a one sided agreement.

Re: Were not guilty

there is no understanding needed, just playing to the fears of the shops. Fits hand in glove quite nicely.

Re: Were not guilty

In other words, the shops sign on the dotted line out of fear. Sounds like coercion to me.

Re: Were not guilty

To profit from the weakness of human nature is not illegal, merely an accelerant moving in the direction of the goal.

Re: Were not guilty

It may not be illegal, but it sure isn't very NEIGHBORLY!

On the other hand, if the choice is; either sign on the dotted line or else we will tell all your customers that you are not a preferred provider and that your shop takes too long and does shoddy work and charges too much, I think there might just be something illegal there.

Corporate free speech has to be truthful and I don't mean making statements like, "you might have warranty issues if you use that shop." or "we don't know how good there work is".

Because though truthful, comments like that cast aspersions.
