99ta Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 well after being a probation officer for several years, I was offered a job with Progressive Insurance as a Claims Adjuster. I am excited about the career change as it gives me opportunity for growth. Anyone in this field or have any comments about what I might expect?

HAOLE Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ohhh. I forgot! Take advantage of you insured, and those that are not very intelligent. Learn the key phrases... that was not medically necessary.... That is beyond your coverage... It does not mater if you have med pay, bill the other parties insurance first... You weren't really hurt were you?... But there was no damage to the car... The accident was only at 35 mph.... No one else in the car was hurt... That was a pre-existing medical problem.. I got to get back to work so I can bill more to progressive....muahahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
