Course Content

Module 1: Introduction to Good Faith and Bad Faith
Good Faith is what defines any insurance contract. This is because it is an agreement between insurers and policyholders to do business with honesty, fairness, and transparency during the time covered by any insurance contract. With good faith, claim payments are made effortlessly, trust is strengthened, and the whole insurance system operates according to plan. However, this is not possible if the element is not observed, which ultimately results in bad faith and negative consequences for insurers. This module will proceed to discuss what bad faith actually entails and how it occurs, as such information is vital to any person in the insurance business field.

Module 4: Preventing Bad Faith Claims
As insurance professionals, are so important in the lives of your clients. They come to you at the most vulnerable moments of their lives, trusting that you will see them through challenges and give them the help they need. That trust is the foundation upon which we do business in this industry. It's just that when such trust gets breached denied claims, needless delays, and incompetence in conducting thorough investigations the likelihood of bad faith claims arises, which is a position nobody would want to face. Preventing bad faith claims has little to do with just legalizing your practice or staying out of trouble; it's about being that kind of professional on whom your clients can rely. It is a matter of integrity to oneself, protection of reputation, and building lasting relations with people who count on the professional. It is also about empowerment. When you know how to communicate clearly, manage claims fairly, and address issues promptly, you are not just doing your job, you are making a difference. You are showing your clients that they matter and that their trust in you is well-placed.
