Country Financial (CF) Claims Process for GGR

Country Financial (CF) Claims Process for GGR

 Overview

We will now handle Country Financial (CF) claims based on the assigned adjuster. Chris Owens has grouped CF adjusters into three categories, and each category requires a specific approach. Vicki will let the AM know if it is category 2 or 3 


Category 1: DO NOT SUPPLEMENT (Unless GGR Requests It)

Treat these claims as Final Invoice Only (assigned to Vicki), unless GGR specifically instructs you to supplement for certain items.

Key Rules:

  • No supplement packages or additional approval requests unless directed by GGR.

  • If GGR requests item(s) to supplement, follow their exact instructions.

  • Handle requested items as you would in a Category 2 claim, including the phone & email follow-up steps below.


 Category 2: BE VERY CONSERVATIVE

Submit a conservative estimate, minimize contact, and do not escalate.

 Action Steps for Deal Owners:

  1. Task Estimator:

    • Request a very conservative estimate with no fluff item.

  2. After Receiving the Revised Estimate:

    • Make just one polite phone call to ask why any items were denied.

    • Accept the adjuster’s explanation and move to closing.

  3. If the Adjuster Does Not Answer:

    • Send a polite email requesting clarification on denied items.

    • Do not wait for a reply — move to closing immediately.

  4. If the Adjuster Responds:

    • If they explain denials: accept the explanation without pushback.

    • Do NOT request a denial letter for Category 2

    • If there is an increase: count it as an Additional Increase.

    • If they ask for more info: do not send anything yet. Instead, submit a Jet Stream to Chris to align on next steps.
