Are You Ready for Your Close Up? |

SIUs should step into the light and unapologetically convey the importance of their duty and how it benefits all.

If we historically compare the world of special investigation units (SIUs) to Hollywood, the genre of "film noir" comes to mind as an analogy for our industry. For decades, claims investigations were conducted in the shadows. Even today, when many people think of the SIU, it is usually depicted through a grainy, black-and-white lens on a foggy, rainy night, complete with a trench-coated investigator. In many ways, we even pride ourselves on this rather cinematic approach to our profession.
We now are more than a half-century removed from the 1940s and '50s when "film noir" populated theatre houses across the country. If, however, we are still operating our special investigation units in the same way, then we are in deep trouble. SIUs in the new millennium must move from the shadows and into the projector light of vivid color, surround sound, and even 3D. It is time for SIUs to take a place on the insurance stage.

It's official: The Universal Claims Certification (UCC) is now available to all claims adjusters in the U.S. This game-changing certification program streamlines the adjuster licensing process that, up to this point, has been confusing and cumbersome. Anyone with a UCC can quickly secure a license in certain states by simply presenting their UCC and paying the state's licensing fees.
