How to file a complaint

Claimants can dispute denials and are asked to submit their dispute in writing.

All disputes are reviewed by the examiner and a member of the Claims Management team. If additional information is provided which supports the dispute, the denial may be overturned.

If no new information is provided, the claim and the denial dispute are also reviewed by members of the Claims Dispute Panel, which may include the Claims Administration Director, the Claims at TuGo Vice President, the Chief Customer Officer and the Business and Insurance Services Vice President.  If the denial is maintained, a letter from the Claims Administration Supervisor is sent to the claimant explaining that the denial was maintained and why the basis of the dispute did not change the outcome.

If the denial is disputed again, the claim will be reviewed by the Claims Administration Director and additional members of the Claims Dispute Panel. If denial is maintained, an additional letter will be sent to the claimant from the Claims Administration Director, again explaining the basis of the denial and why the dispute did not change the outcome.

While we endeavour to consider and resolve all complaints on a timely basis, in the event you remain unsatisfied, you may refer your complaint to the main underwriter Industrial Alliance. Please click here for a copy of their complaint procedures.
