What do we use if there is more than one claim to file on the same policy during a phone call?

• A. Multi Loss
• B. Dual Claim
• C. Duplicate Filing
• D. Multiple Entries

Answer: (A)

When you’re on a call and a policyholder has more than one claim to file on the same policy, you flag it as a Multi Loss. This designation signals that there are several distinct loss events tied to one policy, so each claim can be tracked, estimated, and handled separately while still being linked to the same policy. Using this term helps ensure the correct teams review each loss, timelines don’t get tangled, and nothing gets treated as a duplicate or merged into a single, inaccurate claim. This approach is clearer than other phrases. A dual claim implies two claims exist but doesn’t formalize how they’re managed within the system. Duplicate filing suggests repeating the same claim, which can create unnecessary duplicates. Multiple entries is vague and doesn’t convey that these are separate losses under one policy. Multi Loss communicates the specific situation you’re in: multiple, distinct losses under a single policy, handled as separate claims within the same overall file. On the call, confirm the policyholder’s name and policy number, then collect details for each loss (dates, locations, types of damage, any supporting information), and create a separate claim entry for each loss while linking them to the same policy under the Multi Loss designation.
