Every claim moving forward, with the file attached

myNIME carries an association claim from the first report to the final payment. Documents, adjuster notes, reserves and status sit in one record, every person involved hears about a change at the same moment, and the loss history is ready when the master policy renews.

A claim loses value in the gaps between updates

Most of the cost of an association claim is set in the first weeks: how fast it is reported, how completely it is documented, and whether the board knows what is coming.

  • A claim with no paper trail

    Photos taken weeks later, a missing contractor estimate and an invoice that never reached the file give an adjuster room to settle low.

  • A reserve the board never saw

    An open claim with an unstated reserve turns into a budget surprise, and sometimes an assessment, at the worst moment in the year.

  • A loss run that raises premiums

    Claims that close without a complete record land on the loss run as open or disputed, and underwriting prices the renewal on that.

A claim is a record before it is a negotiation. The file assembled in the first two weeks decides how the next two years go: for the adjuster, the board and the renewal.

Five stages, each one with its own record

myNIME holds the claim at every stage, so nothing depends on someone remembering which email carried the last update.

  1. Reported

    The loss is recorded the day it happens, with photos, the unit or area affected and the first description of what occurred.

    Day 0
  2. Filed

    The claim goes to the carrier with the policy number, deductible and supporting documents attached, and the claim number comes back into the record.

    Day 1 to 3
  3. Adjusting

    Adjuster assigned, inspection scheduled, contractor estimates collected. Every conversation and document lands on the claim.

    Week 1 to 6
  4. Reserved

    The reserve is recorded and shown to the board, so the association knows what the claim may cost before the settlement arrives.

    At estimate
  5. Closed

    Payment recorded, deductible allocated, and the closed claim feeds the loss run that underwriters read at the next renewal.

    At settlement

What a complete file carries

Adjusters pay what the file supports. myNIME prompts for each item at the stage it belongs, so documentation happens as the claim unfolds rather than in a scramble afterwards.

The board sees the claim without asking

An open claim is a financial exposure the board carries. myNIME shows it in the coverage summary with its reserve, its stage and the next action, so the monthly meeting starts from facts.

Claims, answered

Who handles an association claim: the board, the manager or the broker?
All three, at different points. The manager usually reports the loss and assembles the documents, the board approves deductibles and any assessment that follows, and the broker or agent liaises with the carrier and the adjuster. myNIME keeps all three on the same record so none of them has to ask the others what the current status is.
What documents does an adjuster need for a condo or HOA claim?
An incident report with the date, time and cause; photographs or video of the damage as found; contractor estimates for the repair; the applicable policy terms with the deductible; and records of the payments made. myNIME prompts for each item at the stage it belongs so the file is complete when the adjuster asks.
What is a claim reserve, and why should the board see it?
A reserve is the estimated cost of a claim before it settles. It matters to the board because it is the number that may land in the budget or the assessment, and it often changes as the claim develops. myNIME keeps the reserve history on the claim and shows the current figure in the board summary.
How does a closed claim affect the next renewal?
Closed claims become the loss run, which underwriters use to price the master policy. A claim that closes with a complete record (cause, documents, payment and deductible) reads cleanly. A claim left open or undocumented reads as uncertainty and is priced accordingly. myNIME carries the closed-claim summary straight into the renewal file.
Does myNIME file the claim with the carrier for us?
myNIME holds the record, the documents and the status of the claim. Filing continues the way your carrier requires, through their portal, your broker or the adjuster, and the claim number and correspondence come back onto the record. Your broker's role in the claim stays exactly as it is today.
Can we track a claim that started before we used myNIME?
Yes. An existing claim is added with whatever documents already exist, the reserve and the current stage. From that point the timeline, notifications and board reporting run as they would for a new claim.
Who gets notified when a claim status changes?
Whoever your rules specify: typically the property manager, the board contact and the broker, with the adjuster on the correspondence. Every notification is logged on the claim, so the record shows who knew what and when.
How long is claim history kept?
Claim records stay attached to the building for as long as the association is on myNIME, which is what makes a multi-year loss run possible without rebuilding it from carrier portals each renewal.
Does claims tracking work for co-ops as well as condos?
Yes. Co-op corporations file claims on the building master policy the same way a condominium association does, and myNIME handles the record identically, including shareholder-related losses where the corporation is the insured.
